Travel notes for Municipality of Piran
From Wikivoyage
Piran (Italian: Pirano) is a city in the Coast and Karst region of Slovenia.
Understand+
Piran is probably the most beautiful of Slovenia's coastal towns, perched on a tiny piece of land jutting into the sea. It feels more like an Italian coastal town, without all the Italian tourists, and for good reason: Piran was part of the Venetian empire from the late 13th century to the end of the 18th century.
