Coast & Karst

Mediterranean Sun and Underground Wonders

Where the Alps meet the Adriatic Sea, you find a landscape of stunning contrasts. The Slovenian Coast offers Venetian charm in Piran, resort relaxation in Portorož, and fishing traditions in Izola. It is a region of olive groves, salt pans, and fresh seafood.
Just a few kilometers inland lies the Karst (Kras), a mysterious limestone plateau famous for its world-renowned underground worlds like Postojna Cave and Škocjan Caves, as well as the noble white horses of Lipica. This is also a culinary paradise, home to the air-dried Teran prosciutto (pršut) and bold red wines. Explore our guide to Slovenia’s sunny side.
