22 days in Portorož-Piran & Slovenian Istria Itinerary

Considered one of the prettiest cities on the country's coast, Piran owes much of its development to salt.

Shop till you drop at Nika's Tiny House and Park Center Koper. Take a break from the city and head to Strunjan Nature Reserve and Koper City Beach. There's much more to do: admire the striking features of Benečanka Venetian House, get a sense of history and politics at Town Hall, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Church of St. Francis of Assisi, and learn more about the world around you at Mediadom Pyrhani.
