These two breathtaking towns offer their visitors authentic cultural diversity. Piran with its imprint of the Venetian Empire combines fascinating history with inspiring modernity. It charms all its visitors, who lose track of time navigating its picturesque streets.

Portoroz, this “world-renowned seaside resort”, as it was called in the times of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is located in a magnificent sheltered bay. It it surrounded with some of the oldest saltpans in Europe on one side and the distinctive Istrian hills with olive groves, vineyards and fruit trees on the other.

The settlement stretching along the Slovenian coast between Izola and Piran was formed in the valley of the Roja river, along the salt pans and the hills.  In addition to the four kilometers of coastline, which is quite unique in the case of the Adriatic Coast, the flora and fauna of the area are also well worth mentioning.  Sečovlje Salina Nature Park has been protected since 1990, when it was declared a natural reserve. 

The old Mediterranean town of Izola lies on the south-west shore of the Gulf of Trieste, where age-old traditions of fishing and wine-making, mysterious traces of the past, and the friendliness and hospitality of the locals all mix together to form an unforgettable blend of experiences. The town’s lively and romantic character attracts visitors, and they say that once you visit Izola, you never forget it.
