Where Culinary Meets Nature & Passion – Piran and Istrian Flavors
Depart from the pier and drive south following Slovenia’s precious Adriatic coastline, a strip of land only 27 miles long, wedged between Italy and Croatia.
What the coastline lacks in length, it makes up for in beauty. It’s particularly picturesque around Izola, where you will stop for photos of this traditional fishing village.
Upon reaching Piran, a spectacularly scenic village with venetian influence, you will enjoy on short walking tour and some free time to wander its narrow, atmospheric streets. Much of the architecture is 15th century Venetian Gothic, lending the village a wonderfully medieval feel and a statue of Giuseppe Tartini- Piran born violinist and composer.
Continuing on, you will pass Portorož, a lovely coastal town with long saynd beach and salt fields, which are not so much valued commercially, but the salt pans provide a fine habitat for birds and other wildlife. On the way you admire the vineyards, olive groves and farms and learn the importance of wine in Slovenian culture.
Our last stop will be on an authentic farm where we will be treated with local lunch. Simple rural ambient, excellent home-made food, wine and as well wonderful horses will surely make your trip unforgettable. Tour concludes with relaxing scenic ride back to Koper.
