Why We Picked These Tours
Koper is Slovenia’s main port and the largest town on its short coastline of about 46 kilometers, with a Venetian-style old town that once stood on an island. Italian influence shows in the street names, the food and the bilingual signs.
Piran and the coast
Piran, about half an hour from Koper by road, is a compact Venetian-style port built around Tartini Square, named for the violinist born there, with a hilltop church and sea views. Izola lies between the two, with a working fishing harbor.
Timing Your Koper Trip
April to October gives the best coastal weather. July and August are hot, with cruise crowds, while spring and autumn suit cycling and truffles. Postojna Cave stays cool all year, and winter days are short.
