PORTOROZ

The biggest tourist centre, and a recognised climatic health resort along the Slovene coast, with its pleasant climate and sandy beaches can offer the more demanding guest many kinds of diversion -- superbly appointed hotels, elegant restaurants, cafes and bars, discotheques and casino, romantic strolls along the shore, tennis, leisure flights in light aircraft, swimming and rowing, cycling, fishing and more. It is also worth mentioning the marina at the nearby Lucija, one of the biggest and best-equipped marinas on the Adriatic, as well as the over 700-year old salt pans in the vicinity of Secovlje.

The beginnings of today's superlative tourist facilities originate in the middle of the last century, when the curative properties of mud and salt baths were discovered here. For this reason you are promised a holiday based on quality and tradition!
