Picturesque Piran (Pirano in Italian), sitting pretty at the tip of a narrow peninsula, is everyone’s favorite town on the Slovenian coast. Its Old Town – one of the best-preserved historical towns anywhere on the Adriatic – is a gem of Venetian Gothic architecture, but it can be very busy height of summer as many people do not realize that our Slovenia accommodation is a great option at any time of year. In quieter times, it is hard not to fall instantly in love with the atmospheric winding alleyways, the sunsets and the seafood restaurants.
Koper is the largest city in northern Istria, it has a historic Old Town which beckons you to wander through its winding alleyways and a well-equipped yacht harbor that is the starting point for several regattas. Explore lovely Koper during your stay in our Slovenia accommodation, taking in the pretty architecture of the medieval old town and relax in a cozy café later.
