Piran Travel Blogs

The location of this small town is just amazing - on a small peninsula. From Central Switzerland it's about a two an a half hour flight with a Cessna 182 - a wonderful one across the Alps. A walk through the narrow alleys with the old buildings is very nice. If you walk up the hill you have a nice …

After lunch, bikes were put up on the trailer for the final time, biking gear was put away and it was into the vans for the 2-3 hour trip to Piran.  I watched the land and architecture continue to change from the mountains to the lower hills and to the coastal regions where a decidely Ita…

After spending 4 days in Italy, I headed for Slovenia-the country full of nature and nice people.

Remember, clicking the + sign on the map to the left will zoom in so you can see where I am! Whew! I just heard the words I wanted to hear. “No Problem. I have a car, have food, I have a place, we can go wherever you want, just call me from the train station”. This was what Senad j…

Travelling past Slovenia for the first time I met a stunning and unbelievably friendly young girl who demanded I visit her land. Not one to disaapoint I made one of the better decisions of my life. What a delightful and beautiful place filled with the most wonderful people. The perfect little holiday.

Few pics from my 3 weeks trip to Sweden, Slovenia, Croatia and Italy in June 2007. It was my first trip alone and it was awesome!!!

I spent 8 months in Bosnia on a research fellowship for graduate school. It was a great experience and I got to travel around the region quite a bit. I'd highly recommend the Balkans if you are looking for adventure, hospitality, great food. It is also gentle on your wallet. Enjoy the photos.

I went to Slovenia to visit friends. I discovered a very small and beautiful country.

One of my first trips outside of Budapest. My friend and I traveled the length of the country by rail. We visited Ljubljana, Lake Bled, and Piran, where we met all sorts of characters and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

Our mission for the afternoon was to find a place to swim - easier said than done. The Italian coast from Trieste to Slovenia is all harbour and not very pretty - this must be where Trieste gets its bad name from. What was even more bizarre is that the little bits of coast where you could reach the…

Just a few snapshots from my travels ... The first journey I took in 1973 ... twenty years later, I completed my first journey around the world. I will build my travelogue based around these experiences. Enjoy!

The town is a very compact is a series of little streets winding their way through the town. There are some cars bu…

We started the day by touring the town walls before hordes of tourists descended on Piran. The walls encircled the oldest part of the own in the 7th century.   Read more about Piran and Slovenia at Travels with Sheila
