Today we walked Piran. Piran is a very small town, right on the tip of a peninsula poking out into the Mediterranean. The town and towns around it are the seaside vacation areas of Slovenia (Slovenian has a very small part of the coast).
We started our day (after a wonderful breakfast at the hotel and a visit to the old city walls) with a circle walk of the city. It’s an 8.5km walk around Piran stretching out to the neighbouring towns of Fiesa and Portorož. Very hilly again, and hot once more. It was a nice walk, and we found a great spot to spend our day tomorrow (you’ll have to tune into the blog to find out about it!). Some nice paths through olive groves and through small residential streets, then back along the seawall (where we had lunch) and into Piran.
After an early afternoon siesta in the hotel (with air conditioning!!) we headed out again to explore the paths and alleys of Piran proper. Very easy to get lost, but not really easy to lose yourself as you ultimately end up on the water, or back at the main square. A refreshment, then a dinner, and we had a nice day visiting Piran.
Not much more to say, so here are some pictures.
Where’s the beach – I went and looked it up, and still can’t figure it out!
