Slovenian smallest international airport is the one on the coast, Aerodrome Portorož. In case you are wandering how small is that, let me tell you it has 11 employee, counting everyone from cleaning personnel to director.

But you are used to small things in Slovenia, aren't you? So this might not come as a surprise to you. How about receiving a welcome drink after you have landed?

When flying directly to the coast, visitors are greeted in a traditional way for this parts of Europe with a shot of home made brandy!

Piran is missing red house

Pearl of Mediterranean. Little Venice. Slovenian Rovinj. A bit of Dubrovnik. Reflection of Venetian republic. There are many words describing most famous Slovenian coastal town and each has a bit of truth in it.

Piran is known for it's red roofs, many churches, narrow streets with no cars, hidden squares, amazing views and it's beautiful main square. The view of Tartini square with violinist's statue in the ellipse, colourful houses and a church atop of a hill which bell-tower reminds a lot of the more famous one in Venice, is a typical postcard view. Or instagram post ​if you want something modern.

The square used to be a small port, called mandrač by locals and than filled up for square and later become, for some time, even the final station of electrical railway.

On the square there was one of the most known houses in Piran, no, in whole Slovenia! Red Venetian - Gothic house. Did I say was? Is it lost? Was it destroyed? Did it fly away?
No. It was painted white because the oldest paint that was found on the wall was white.  I miss red.

Moon Bay

For some of you this may come as a surprise, but Slovenia has a coastline on Adriatic Sea, which is part of Mediterranean Sea. It's not long, only 46.6 km, but still worth the visit. I won't start with most popular place here, Piran, but with something more natural.

Probably there are thousands bays around the World carrying the same name as our Moon Bay, but there is only one in Slovenia. And it is unique.

This relatively small bay is surrounded by a flysch cliff, which is certainly not monotonous. Constant change of stratums makes you wonder if that could possibly be natural work. It is. To access the beach one has to walk for a few minutes down hill. This is the easy part, the ascend, especially on a hot summer day is more challenging.
​
But if you like natural, not too crowded beaches, Moon Bay is worth the walk.

    After writing a blog in Slovenian language for 10 years I have finally come to my sense and started writing one in English as well.

    I'll share with you beautiful places worth visiting in Slovenia and around it. I'll also talk about general things tourist should know and of course I'll write about food, drinks and accommodation, essentials for any visitor.

    ​I am writing about my personal recommendations that are not influenced by any sponsors. But please, don't expect new post every day. ;)
