After your fill of Koper, you tour will continue on to Piran. This wonderful panorama of the Piran peninsula from the west offers a view of the Cape of Piran stretching far into the sea. On the left are the salt works of Strunjan and farther in the distance the coastal towns of Izola and Koper. The archives reflect a rich historical tradition that reaches back to the Roman Empire.
The old seaport of Piran lies at the end of the Piran peninsula. It was surrounded by walls in the Middle Ages and city walls are still preserved today. The whole town is protected as a cultural and historical monument, and it has preserved its medieval layout with narrow streets and compact houses, which rise in steps from the coastal lowland into the hills and give the whole area a typical Mediterranean look.
