Piran

Slovenia upon first sight may seem too surreal to be true - majestic alpine mountains, glassy wide lakes, carved-out gorges and fairytale villages that border the Adriatic Sea and limitless nature. But it doesn't take long for any traveller to discover that Slovenia's beauty isn't only abundant, but also accessible and welcoming to everyone. 

Slovenia

Coastal–Karst

Piran is a town in southwestern Slovenia on the Gulf of Piran on the Adriatic Sea. It is one of the three major towns of Slovenian Istria. The town has much medieval architecture, with narrow streets and compact houses. Piran is the administrative centre of the local area and one of Slovenia's major tourist attractions.
