Slovenia

Karst

The Karst region is a fascinating limestone plateau bordering Italy and Croatia. Beautiful and unspoiled, its great features are astonishing caves and rivers that disappear as if by magic. The warm sunshine helps produce robust, earthy wines and the area is renowned for its tasty hams and honey too.

• authentic Slovenia • visit the famed Skocjan Caves & the port of Piran • walk into Italy

 

Lake BledLakes

Slovenia’s Gorenjska region holds some of the country’s classic ‘must sees’, including Lake Bled, where the tiny Bled Island is almost a national symbol, and the wilder beauty of dramatic Lake Bohinj. Towering above are the mightiest peaks of the Julian Alps, including Triglav, the country’s highest mountain. Just as appealing, though, are the region’s secret hamlets and villages, where the pace of life has hardly changed for centuries.
