Slovenia · PIRAN & THE SLOVENIAN COAST
13 reviewed
Slovenia has forty-six kilometres of coast and Piran takes most of the credit: a Venetian square, a bell tower copied from San Marco, and salt pans still worked by hand down the road. Below are the best coastal trips, with the ones that pair the town with a karst cave, a truffle hunt or a tasting in Istria.

“Had a great time on this trip, but due to weather predictions we changed the order of activities so that we got to the coast before it rained, saw the cave which is the most incredible one I've seen to date, saw the horses but unfortunately missed the show due to time rearrangements but lastly, the best part was our wine tasting excursion to a small family winery who treated us very well with wonderful wines and charcuterie board. Anna, our guide, went above and beyond.”

Small-group day trip from Ljubljana to UNESCO Škocjan Caves and Venetian Piran, guided cave walk and Adriatic views.
“Škocjan caves is not the usual cave experience like the Postojna more common and mainstream stalagmites and stalactites caves. Škocjan is about deep narrow ravines with roar of rushing waters, about great heights between ravine rapids and ceiling of cave, about the cave ceiling looking like upside down snow forest or extraordinary scenery from another planet, about eerie darkness and evidence of the first explorer dangerous routes discovering the caves!”
