Shells are displayed from all over the world. A very interesting array of different types, colors, sizes. The museum docent was the best in his infectious delight about the shells and gave us a handy guide to help us go through the museum.

We visited this place 12 years ago. In that time there was nothing, just the pans. Now we visited the parc again. Now this is more commercial, more educational. Nice place!
If you prefer the educational way ... take the entrance in Portoroz.
If you prefer the spotive way (bikes) ... take the entrance between the croatian and slovenian border.
3. Nature Park Strunjan

Lovely nature park between Izola and Piran with cliffs overlooking the Adriatic see. The views of the cliffs are amazing so you can see Trieste, Duino, Miramare, Koper and entire gulf. The colour of the sea is amazing from turquoise to deep blue and pine trees makes adorable smell.
There is a path from the cliffs to Moon's gulf, the one of the most beautiful Beaches I have been to with crystal clear water.
Strunjan has nice paths to walk through the Forests too and a very beautiful church.
Do not miss it if you are close by.

The town walls run along from one side of the peninsula to the other as a way of guarding the entire city between the walls and the sea. The walls are easily walk-able and you can climb the towers too, to get a really great view of the Adriatic and the surrounding countryside.
Really is a good experience for the minimal price.

Nice big square with great views out to sea. Lots of lovely shops and restaurants around it and it had a massive Christmas tree and fairy light up when we visited although it was quite warm for December!
7. Parenzana
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 18 reviews
This cycling path connects many coastal cities and towns of Slovenia and offers some spectacular views over Piran and Izola. Between Portoroz and Koper are two climbs, but easy to manage also for people with less experience of cycling. We did it with kids and it was great - kids really loved driving through tunnels.
Reviewed By SB01 - Sonning Common, Berks
We cycled a part of the route, from Lucija to Isola, passing through the tunnels and alongside olive groves and vineyards. It is almost completely traffic-free so very good for small children. Some guides say it is flat, which is inaccurate as it is quite undulating in places. Most of the cycle hire places have route maps. There is not a lot of shelter, so take loads of water in summer.
8. Church of St. George

Reviewed By angelaofcastleton - Rochdale, United Kingdom
The baroque style church is a landmark overlooking Piran. The road to it is behind Tartini Square and it is steep. Inside the church there is a great statue of St George slaying his dragon and lovely painted ceilings and ornate alter. For E1.50 you can visit the small museum containing treasures such as statues and roman foundations as well as enter the main church (otherwise for free you can peer through the metal gate at the entrance. Well worth the E1.50.
9. Grand Casino Portoroz

Casino Portorož, since 1913, is the most important and biggest casinò destination of the northern Adriatic region and one of the oldest casinò destinations in Europe.
Reviewed By massimo g - Verona, Italy
Last time we went was 10 years ago. It still keeps its charm despite the advent of electronic machines. Card tables and roulette have croupiers and you can start betting 2 euros, 5 euros after 10 pm. They also offer complimentary drinks. Nice experience as we also won.

Interesting old museum on 2 floors. In the museum you can find also old furniture. In one angle you can find very interesting floor, because it is made of glass and below are stones and sea shells. Museum talks about development of Slovenian maritime.
