Piran & Portoroz

Hello my friends. Are you ready for some new attractions? I have more exciting places that I want to share with you. Today I will introduce you two Slovenian coastal towns.

Piran, the most beautiful coastal town in Slovenia, is perched on a tiny piece of land extending into the sea. The town was part of the Venetian empire from the late 13th century to the end of the 18th century. It has preserved the medieval layout with narrow streets, houses that are huddled close together, rising in cascades, the contact with the sea, numerous squares, and churches. It is the best preserved cultural monument of Slovenian Istria and the closest neighbor of Portoroz, the luxurious city of flowers. When you visit Piran, you should take a closer look at its architecture, influenced by the Venetian Republic, which left its mark on most Istrian towns. Tartini Square is the pearl of the town located in the very center. It was named after the famous violinist and composer Giuseppe Tartini. The town of Piran is a national historical monument. The Church of St. George, the patron saint of Piran, rises above the town. It is worth of visit since the lookout tower gives you an amazing view of Piran, its surroundings, and the sea all the way to the Croatian and Italian Coast.

Second town is Portoroz which is in a walking distance from Piran. It is worth of walking because along the way you will have a wonderful view at the seaside. Once in Portoroz, you can revitalize your body and soul through refreshing jog on the beach, swimming in pools and the sea, beauty and health care programs at thermal spas, sports, and recreation. Portoroz has it all. The Terme & Wellness LifeClass features the most comprehensive thermal, medical and wellness offer in Europe. The spa is unique thanks to use of five local natural factors: salt pan mud - fango, brine - Aqua Madre, climate, sea and thermomineral water. You can enjoy yourself in 7 different wellness centers. Portoroz offers a large number of comfortable hotels with modern pools, a wide range of restaurants with different varieties of cuisine, and popular events. The town is also a well-known convention center. Numerous seminar and convention halls are host to prominent local and international meetings and events.

These two places are a wonderful summer destination for you to combine the sightseeing with relaxation.
