3 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.

Popular historic sites such as Church of St. Francis of Assisi and Church of St. Maurus are in your itinerary. Museum-lovers will appreciate Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum and Mediadom Pyrhani. There's much more to do: kick back and relax at Strunjan Nature Reserve, get a new perspective on nature at Magical World of Shells Museum, view the masterpieces at Nika's Tiny House, and see the interesting displays at Koper Regional Museum.
