As per Alfredo TOURS itinerary
Our visit begins at daybreak, with the arrival at KOPER - the town, dating back to the early thirteenth century and famous for its historic character and local wine. You can admire the houses leaning one against the other and stroll along the narrow streets and sheltered paths.
IZOLA - an old fishing village with rich history. The Latin name for island is 'isola' and Izola used to be an island that was connected to the mainland by a stony bridge. Established by refugees from Aquileia in the 7th century, the town was once surrounded by a wall, which was pulled down at the beginning of the 19th century, the material used to cover the sea between the island and mainland.
Then, we reach STRUNJAN by walking along the famous “Strunjan Clif” and above the “Moon Bay” a romantic and evocative walk known from the rocks falling sheer into the sea. Strunjan is a charming old salt-making village, located between the magnificent Venetian old town of Piran and the charming old fishing town of Izola. It lies in a bay of the same name. Much of this area is a nature reserve that lies along a 4 km stretch of Adriatic coast to the north of the village.
Our journey continues to PIRAN, an ancient fishing town considered “The Pearl of The Slovene Riviera”, where you will be awed by its enchanting Venetian architecture. Here you will have free time to plunge into the crystal sea and sunbathe, before proceeding to PORTOROZ, a seaside town surrounding a small natural bay.
