The various cafes and restaurants set along the river are a perfect spot to enjoy a coffee and watch people go by.

Holidays in Slovenia are not complete without a visit to the stunning Julian Alps. Most of the mountains, lakes forests here are within the 85-hectare Triglav National Park - one of the largest parks in Europe. The picture-postcard Lake Bled is increasingly popular with tourists and is distinguished by its island with a church in its centre.

The numerous bars and restaurants lining the harbour offer a perfect place to relax over a drink and watch the sunset. Izola is still very much a traditional fishing village with a pretty marina, restaurants and hotels. The coastal town of Koper is renowned for its picturesque historical quarter and marina boasting a wealth of water sports.
