A town built on salt
PIRAN
Opposed to its neighbors Italy and Croatia, Slovenia is not blessed with an impressive coastline. This small area however is home to one of the most beautiful coastal towns of the entire Adriatic: Piran grew with the help of salt. The Piran salt pans were first established in the 804. Ever since the world-class fleur de sel (flower of salt) has been produced, still using age-old methods.
Medieval beauty
The old port town with remnants of a medieval wall is protected as a cultural and historical monument. Narrow streets with closely constructed houses descending from the hill and its church to the central square on the coast emphasize its Mediterranean character. This coastal ‘Venetian’ town is considered to be one of the most authentic and most photogenic towns on the Adriatic coast. Not only the architecture, but also the Maritime Museum, an aquarium, many events, the culinary offerings attract numerous visitors.
Yet the town is not overly touristy compared to the Istrian towns Porec and Roving that can be found further south. Car traffic has almost completely been banned from the town, which results in a very relaxed atmosphere.
Activities
Piran provides many hiking, biking, and horse trails for active visitors. These trails connect this medieval gem on the coast with the lively tourist town of Portorož and also allows to connect with Croatian Istria. The most famous trail is the the Parenzana the 130 km long former train track which runs from Trieste, Italy, past the Piran Salt Pans to Poreč in Croatia. An amazing bike ride along the long abandoned railway tracks.
