Discover the Slovenian Riviera on a relaxed Land & Sea journey through Koper, Izola, and Piran, combining coastal scenery, guided walks, and local tastings.
The tour departs from either the Koper Cruise Terminal or Izola Cruise Pier, depending on your ship’s port of call, with your guide meeting you directly at the pier. After a short introduction and distribution of tasting coupons, enjoy a gentle walking tour of Izola’s old town, known for its fishing heritage and relaxed coastal feel.
Continue by open-air boat along the Istrian coast toward Piran, enjoying Adriatic views and the option to sample local wine or juice. After disembarking near the Red Lighthouse, take part in a short guided walk through Piran’s historic center, followed by free time to explore, relax by the sea, or enjoy an espresso.
In the afternoon, travel by air-conditioned coach to Koper for a brief introduction and a tasting of traditional burek before returning to the pier.
As you arrive in Izola, you step into a relaxed seaside town shaped by fishing traditions and everyday coastal life. Together with your guide, you enjoy an easy walk through Izola’s old town, where narrow streets, colorful houses, and small squares reflect its maritime past. You will hear stories about local fishermen, salt trade, and how the town grew from a small island into today’s lively coastal community. Along the way, you pass local shops, cafés, and the harbor, where boats and daily life create an authentic atmosphere. Izola feels local and unhurried, offering a genuine glimpse into life on the Slovenian Riviera.
As your boat glides past Strunjan Cliff, you experience one of the most striking natural views on the Slovenian Riviera. From the water, the cliffs rise dramatically straight from the sea, covered in Mediterranean vegetation and untouched nature. You will feel the contrast between the deep blue Adriatic below and the sheer white limestone walls above, a perspective only visible by boat. This stretch of coast is protected and largely undeveloped, giving it a quiet, almost wild character. Slow down, take photos, and enjoy the fresh sea air as your guide points out the natural features and explains why this area is considered one of the most beautiful coastal sections in Slovenia. It is a peaceful moment on the journey, where scenery takes center stage and the coastline unfolds in its purest form.
As you arrive in Piran, you step ashore near the Red Lighthouse and walk straight into one of the most picturesque towns on the Adriatic. With your guide, you enjoy a relaxed walk through Piran’s old town, where narrow streets, small squares, and elegant Venetian-style buildings tell stories of salt making, seafaring, and daily coastal life. You will pass historic facades, lively cafés, and scenic corners where the town meets the sea almost seamlessly. After a short guided introduction, you have free time to experience Piran at your own pace. Stroll along the waterfront promenade, browse local shops, take photos, or sit down for an espresso by the sea using your tasting coupons. Everything is close and easy to explore. Piran is about atmosphere as much as sights. Stone streets warmed by the sun, the sound of waves nearby, and the relaxed rhythm of the coast make this stop a highlight of the Slovenian Riviera.
In Koper, you step into the largest town on the Slovenian coast, where history and everyday life blend naturally. With your guide, you enjoy a short, easy walk through Koper’s old town, passing open squares, historic buildings, and quiet streets that reflect centuries of Venetian influence. You will hear how Koper developed as an important port and trading town and how it functions today as a lively coastal city. During the walk, you stop to taste a traditional burek, a popular local pastry enjoyed by residents of all generations. There is time to take photos, observe local life, and soak in the relaxed coastal atmosphere before finishing with a short walk back to the pier. Koper offers a pleasant and authentic end to the journey, giving you a final taste of life along the Slovenian Riviera.
