Slovenian sea 🌊 | travel guide
Izola
Izola is a small picturesque town between Piran and Koper. I recommend staying there, if you want to avoid crowds. Izola has very good location because it is right in the middle of the Slovenian coast. It is less touristy than Piran, but also has a lot to offer. It was under Venetian influence in the 9th century, so you will feel like you are in Italy! Narrow streets and church will definitely remind you of Venice. Izola also has a long tradition of fishing, there is even a museum about it. You can also take a walk along the port.

Beaches 🏖
Izola offers 8 beaches. Our favourite was Svetilnik (in translation lighthouse). You can lie either on grass, concrete or pebbles, so anyone can choose. You can get to sea easily, there are handrails leading to the sea or mole with stairs.
