This picturesque city, situated on the Gulf of Piran on the Adriatic sea, is the ideal location for a rented serviced apartment or holiday letting and here you can enjoy an eclectic mix of architecture, history and a wonderful, natural environment that will leave a truly lasting impression.

What better place to start a tour of the city than it’s centre, Tartini Square. This beautiful, white paved square is actually oval in shape and here you will find a statue of the famous violinist Giuseppe Tartini, after whom the square was named. From here take a wander down some of the narrow, winding streets and admire the wonderful medieval architecture and view some stunning little houses.

Around the city you will find the ancient fortification walls which consist of a variety of architecture from different eras and on top of the hill overlooking the town is the Church of St. George. The stunning white interior boasts a beautifully decorative ceiling and some wonderful relief work. If you climb the bell tower you can enjoy some fabulous views of the harbour.

Your serviced residence or aparthotel in Piran allows you to take a short trek out of the city to the little village of Hrastovlje where you will find a 12th century church surrounded by fortified walls. A browse around this church will afford some wonderful murals including one in particular that has made this church a popular place to visit, The Danse Macabre or Dance of Death. The quaint little village is also well worth a look and the scenery is just stunning.

Back in the city you can get an insight into Piran’s maritime culture and history with a visit to the Sergej Masera Maritime Museum and the coastal paths provide plenty of pleasant walks and ideal picnicking spots.

There are numerous piers along the water where you can lay out a towel and enjoy a dip in the Adriatic before stopping off at one of the waterside bars for a refreshing drink.

A superb place for your evening meal that is within close proximity of your apartment rental or holiday let in Piran is Stara Gostilna. This lovely restaurant is situated behind the town square and here they serve some absolutely divine seafood dishes and excellent Slovenian wine. The service is really efficient and the food is great value for money. The grilled fish platter, consisting of sole, prawns, octopus and bass, is absolutely delicious.
