Slightly less than fifty kilometers along the Adriatic Sea is the coast of Slovenia, a small Balkan country with a big hospitable heart. It is increasingly called the resort pearl of the Old World, and beach holidays in Slovenia are preferred by tight-fisted Germans, lovers of beauty Italians, and desperately missing the sun and warmth of the Scandinavians.
Where to go to sunbathe?
Slovenian resorts may well compete with the famous Ibiza or Saint Tropez in terms of the level of service in hotels, and in the number of stylish guests on the embankments, and in the variety of entertainment. The only difference between a beach holiday in Slovenia is in prices, which are much nicer here for absolutely everything.
The main Slovenian resorts are located on the shores of the blue sea in the world. This is how the inhabitants of the country talk about the Adriatic:
- Looking like a bird's eye view of the tail of a lizard resting on the seashore, Piran was once part of the Venetian Republic and has retained its medieval charm and former grandeur.
- The name of the town of Isola clearly traces its Italian roots and from it to the border with Italy it is only 15 km. In addition to a luxury beach holiday, the resort offers thermal spa treatments and windsurfing.
- Portorož means "port of roses" in Slovenian, but not only thousands of luxurious flowering bushes have brought it international fame. The resort has been known for its thermal waters since the 13th century and today there are many wellness centers. A beach vacation in Slovenia can be not only pleasant, but also rewarding!
- Simple and cozy at home - these are reviews of the Slovenian resort of Koper. The hotels here are comfortable and inexpensive, the cuisine in local restaurants is ideal for both children and adults, and the possibilities of modern infrastructure allow you to relax and work at the same time: the resort's business centers offer corporate events right on the seashore.
No one can give an unambiguous answer to the question of where is the best place to relax in Slovenia. This country is able to surprise again and again, and every traveler finds his own places of power on the coast of the Slovenian Adriatic.
Weather features of a beach holiday in Slovenia
The mild Slovenian climate suits almost all of its guests. The swimming and sunbathing season starts on the Adriatic Riviera in May, when the water temperature reaches a stable + 18 ° С, and the air warms up to + 25 ° С during the day. Even at the height of summer, there is no extreme heat on the beaches of Slovenia and sea breezes soften the 30-degree temperatures. In July and August, the water warms up to + 25 ° С, and remains comfortable for swimming until the end of September.
Mediterranean style
Slovenian Koper is a classic example of a Mediterranean resort, where it is simple and cozy, like at home, the owners are welcoming, and the guests are happy with life and prefer to spend their days on sunny beaches, and evenings in restaurants with a glass of good wine.
In the photo, Koper usually shows its medieval sights - the rotunda of the Ascension of the 12th century and the Palace of the Logia, barely perceptibly reminiscent of the Venetian, where once the Doges gathered. Fans of painting will appreciate the exhibition of the art gallery, which displays real masterpieces of the masters of the medieval era.
Active tourists will be happy to visit the Koper Aqua Park, which offers water attractions for every taste. There are slides with dizzying zigzags, waterfalls, and boats on which you can safely go down the water steep. The traditional beach activities of Koper are sand volleyball, banana rides and parasailing over the sea.
Toddlers will be delighted to visit the local zoo. It is not too big, but animals feel cozy and comfortable here.
Port of Roses by the blue sea
Portoroz is the most popular beach destination in Slovenia. Firstly, there is an ideal climate, and secondly, there are a large number of treatment centers based on local thermal waters and healing salts, and, finally, a sandy beach is open in the city, where it is convenient to swim for both adults and kids.
Among the popular entertainments of the guests of Portorož:
- Boating picnics and fishing on the high seas.
- Excursions to the Karst region, rich in natural attractions. Here you can admire the cleanest lakes, go down into caves and enjoy the views of waterfalls.
- A trip to the stud farm in Lipica, where horses of a special breed have been bred for a long time. Snow-white Lipizzans participate in demonstration ceremonies at the Austrian royal court.
Restaurants in Portorož are a separate delight. After an eventful day on the beach or on an excursion, it is especially pleasant to enjoy the Balkan cuisine prepared with traditional Slovenian love and warmth.
Isola's Venetian style
Excursion tours in Izola certainly include walks in the old city center. The main attraction of the Big Square is the Besengi del Helli Palace, erected by architects in the 18th century and has not lost a single drop of its charm since then. The architectural style of the Slovenian resort dates back to the era of Venetian rule and on the local streets it often seems that time has stopped.
But on the beaches of Izola life is in full swing! Every year the resort gathers fans of windsurfing and yacht racing, fishing enthusiasts and just fans of a cozy family vacation under the warm sun of the Adriatic.
Who are tired of hotels
Poor European youth are increasingly preferring hostels, which are enough in Slovenia in all tourist destinations. The cost of living in a hostel allows you to stay on a budget in the most popular places, especially if you have to travel with a large company.
Apartments rented to local residents in resort towns often become a shelter for tourists. So it turns out to be beneficial to have a rest with a family or all the same company of like-minded people.
