There are pleasant walks from Piran to the nearby Fiesa and Strunjan valleys.
You can visit the outdoor exhibition of Forma Vivo sculptures or walk along the
Portorož Promenade.
The company Hoteli Piran d.d., together with its partner agencies, offers various
guided coach and boat tours lasting one or more days.
If you want to go further inland, we recommend the one-day excursions through
typical Istrian villages (Hrastovlje, Koštabona, Krkavče, Grožnjan, Oprtalj, Motovun,
Buje).
There are also excursions to Izola where you can admire its picturesque harbour
or to Koper, including wine-tasting at a local wine cellar.
If you want to see fascinating Karst features under the ground, we can take you
by coach to visit the Postojna and Škocijan Caves, including a visit to the Lipica
stables.
The Solinarka boat will take you to the Sečovlje saltpans. You will visit the
salt fields and museum with its interesting collection of articles and pictures
showing how salt-workers lived in the past.
An extra special treat is to take a plane from Portorož Airport and discover
the panorama from the air.
Our hotel also organises special visits for those interested in churches and
religious monuments. In cooperation with the local parish we arrange guided tours
of the churches in Piran. The multivision presentation in the Minorite monastery
of St. Francis is worth seeing as it graphically reveals hidden features of Piran
and the history of the monastery. We also take our guests to the only pilgrimage
church in Strunjan – the Church of St. Mary’s Apparition, and then in Koper to
the Romanesque Cathedral and the modern St Mark’s Church with its splendid mosaic
by Dr Rupnik.
Please tell us at Hotel Piran about your wishes and interests and we will gladly
advise you on visits and tours.
