Koper

Koper is the biggest town on the Slovenian coast. It has long history and that's why beautiful old town centre. It used to lie on the island. Later sea was pushed away so there is no island anymore. The most beautiful square is Titov trg (Tito's square) where you can see loggia, cathedral, church tower, Pretorian palace and other big buildings. Where ever you will walk inside the old town centre of Koper you will see old beautiful buildings and other nice details that shows us reach history of Koper.

Koper offers everything you need for modern life. Most roads around the town are well developed with many rondos. Around the old town you will find a lot of shopping centres. Along the coast are nice walking promenades. There is also small beach that can be quite crowded in summer months.



Koper doesn't have so much hotels but anyway you can find some hotels and other accommodation options there.

Koper has also one of the biggest ports in that part of Europe where each day big ships convey their shipment.

Beside Koper there are also other towns worth to see on Slovenia coast like Piran, Izola or Portoroz. Hinterland of Koper offers you nice walking or biking trails, old castles, churches, villages, etc. Not far away from Koper is Trieste (Italy).

Slovenian Coast

Slovenian Coast is very short, it is just about 45 km long. Biggest cities on the coast are Koper, Izola, Piran and Portoroz. All of these cities have rich history and interesting old town centres except Portoroz that is a little bit more modern with many hotels. One of most scenic bays on Slovenian Coast is Moon's Bay (Mesecev zaliv) which is located in Strunjan Landscape Park. I would suggest also to see Secovlje Salt-pans where you can still see how to make salt on the old fashioned way. Of course there are also other interesting places worth to see. One of them is for sure Garden of Cacti on Cape Seca where you can see a lot of different cacti.
