Why Piran is the Perfect Slovenian Seaside Town
Piran, also known as Pirano, is one of the three major towns of Slovenian Istria, and perhaps one of the most beautiful seaside towns in all of Europe. Known by tourists as Pearl of the Adriatic, the maritime town has an exquisite selection of restaurants and cafes lining its street-side on both sides of the Bay of Piran, which faces Italy’s famous peninsula of Venice to the south.
