A Taste Of Piran

Explore the medieval streets of Piran on your own while taking advantage of reduced pricing at select destinations. During the spectacularly scenic drive there, you will pause for photos in Izola, a seaside town known for its traditional red-tiled roofs and a strong fishing heritage. At the tip of a narrow peninsula nearby, you will find Piran, a walled city with a wonderfully preserved Old Town. You will be free to wander about as you please, but you may wish to drop by the attractions that are offering incentives, such as half-off admission to the Museum of Underwater Activities. That same generous discount applies to ice cream at Karamela and espresso at Karvana Piran, a coffee shop on historical Tartini Square. The landmark Gothic-style Venetian House has dominated that public plaza since the mid-15th century. The First of May Square, which dates to the Middle Ages, is also well worth a look.
