Portoroz
|
|
With Italy to the west, Austria to the north and Croatia to the south, Slovenia has huge variety from alpine peaks to the beach resorts of the Adriatic, the biggest of which is Portoroz.
Portoroz (Portorose in Italian, literally "Port of Roses") is a coastal town in Slovenia and one of the country's largest tourist areas. Belonging to the Municipality of Piran and inhabited by 3,000 people, Portoroz boasts a marina, casino, and numerous sporting facilities.
Piran is an old Mediterranean town situated at the tip of the Piran peninsula along the Piran Bay. The town resembles a large open-air museum, with medieval architecture and a rich cultural heritage. Narrow streets and compact houses give the town its special charm.
Suggestions from Marko Hawlina - local representative.
