Squeezed between Italy & Croatia with a coastline of just 46.6km, Slovenia is an undiscovered sailing gem. Shareing the Istrea area with neighbouring Croatia. Small but well equipped modern marinas based at Portoroz, Koper and Izola make this an ideal starting point for exploring the Adriatic with Venice just a few miles away to the west.
Described as having a sub-Mediterranean climate, the average temperature in July is 21c and as it borders Austria, Italy, Hungary and Croatia, steeped in history, even your not so keen crew members may be willing to come along and explore.
We have found the people to be outgoing, friendly and extremely helpful, going that little bit further to ensure the enjoyment of their lovely country.
