Piran
This is a top pick! ... amongst those streets and then grabbed a bus back to Koper to try and get to Bled. Timetables dont seem to mean much in Slovenia so after waiting for a non existent train we caught a bus back to the Lljublana - via everywhere else we had already been! ...
National Day
... , unlike Croatia, Slovenia did not have a sizable Serbian population, so there weren't significant ethnic issues involved with Slovenia separating. Other than a few stores being closed early, I haven't noticed anything special. My destination for today ...
Piran
... a few flights of steep stone steps to the turrets. The view certainly makes the effort worthwhile - a nearly bird's eye perspective of Piran, plus Italy to the north and Croatia faintly visible to the south. I am the only person who has made the struggle ...
Chill out time in Slovenia
... . We saw the largest underground cavern in the world, and the whole thing was awesome. We then headed to Piran, on the tiny bit of coast that Slovenia manages to keep from Croatia and Italy. We hoped to go diving on a wreck there but unfortunately didn't ...

London -> Trieste -> Piran

Last day in Slovenia
The weather was great today. I spent the whole day by the water and started reading a new book called Banco. I have been meaning to read this book ever since I took my trip to South East Asia in 2002. I read a book called Papillon (a true story) on that ...
Loving it but hate it, either way we can't get out
... lying), we arrived in Piran early in the afternoon after a three hour bus ride from Ljubljana, that took us along Slovenia's Adriatic coast with some beautiful landscape. We where looking forward to coming to Piran just to relax on the ...
Pretty but crowded
Piran is a pretty little town on the very edge of Slovenia. Literally - it seems to be almost spilling down a hill into the sea. There's not much to the place, but it was a good day trip from Koper. I just spent my time ambling around the narrow, winding ...
Last Baltic Adventure...for this trip
... the people did not want this. "The Serbs are fine... " he continued ... "the government cannot be trusted." (Slovenian= Slovenia; Serbia=Serbs). The Slovenian countryside... well, we visited during the country's biggest storm of the year, so we ...
A long walk before dinner
... , past the nudist beach and 20 minutes arrived. All we could find was bars and an expensive restaurant. So we walked all the way back to Piran and went to a pizzeria for pizza! Yum, yum, this is the start of many pizzas. Had an early night, as we have an ...
Pizza again
Slept most of the way back on the ferry. Arrived in Piran at about 8. Went to the hostel and had a nice, cool shower and went out to dinner. Decided to go to the same pizzeria as last night. Then walked along the beach and packed all my stuff back into my ...
Tinges of Venice
... 's becoming quite a regional destination nowadays as well. With cheaper prices than Italy (though not by much - the Euro is sure helping Slovenia catch up fast!), many Austrians, Germans and Italians hop down in the summer for a few days of sun and, ...
We can be students if you want us to be.....
Zagreb, Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Bohinjsko Jezero, Koper, Piran 04/09/04 - 09/09/04 Before getting into Slovenia there was a quick stop off in Croatia's capital of Zagreb. Another incredibly slow train ride which took about 7 hours. We could have run ...
Eating seafood by the sea
... '. We didn't know if they were genuine or not, so we waited for the bus. It was a 20 minute scenic coastal drive to Piran. Piran is a cute little seaside town that has not being invaded by developers and there are no huge hotels or resorts. Walked to the ...
Driving in Slovenia and actually seeing stuff
... a drive ahead of me, and a couple of more stops to make en route. It took about an hour and a half to reach Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital. From the highway, there were not clear signs pointing towards the center of the city, so, once again, it ...
Fishy business
The most picturesque port you can imagine, allegedly. Not in a thunderstorm it isn't. A little venetian, in that there were lots of blinds, but no deafs - actually, there were two. I'm making the place sound bad - it was actually very pretty, ...
Piran
... the lake and then spent the night taking in the free show that was on in the park! So far Slovenia was amazing! Next stop was Piran... a little village out on the coast. Not much to see but we had awesome custard squares and ...
June 9 - the Aegean Sea - my last day in Slovenia
My traveling in Slovenia will end by tomorrow morning, when I will catch a bus to Pula, Croatia. I hope all things will be ended as nice as this one: right at this moment I am typing away sitting on a chair by the shore of the Adriatic Sea, with a beer ...
Day trip - Karst & Coast

Lublji Jublji and Pretty Piran
... the town in two. It has a dragon as it's symbol and an old castle up on a hill that overlooks the old town. When we got to Piran all we wanted to do was swim - we were having withdrawal symptoms - but we had to find a place to stay first. It wasn't ...
An hour in Italy
... town (they were divided by the Iron Curtain) and get a train from there to Trieste and then from Trieste to Koper (Slovenia) and then a bus to Piran, our final destination. This schedule left us an hour in Trieste, which gave us enough time to walk to one ...
Bus to Piran
... the free bits of beach and rock fill up first whilst the paid deck chairs go empty. Such is the case at “our town”, Piran. Piran is on the tip of the promontory and is an old Venetian port town. It is quite small, a bit run down, and ...
Domestic Disputes
... . It is very small and easy to navigate around the narrow alley like streets. Its Venetian style bell tower overlooks the whole port. Piran also has a beautiful city wall and castle, which you can easily walk up to and walk around what is left of the city ...
