Why Go?
Primorska is one of Slovenia's most diverse regions. There is mountain climbing and raft-
ing in the Soča Valley, wine tasting near Nova Gorica, caverns at Škocjan and white stal-
lions to ride at Lipica. On the coast, the old Venetian ports of Piran and Koper will keep
even the most indefatigable of sightseers busy.
Primorska has a climate and flora that are distinctly Mediterranean right up to the foot-
hills of the Alps. There are four distinct regions: the Soča Valley; the rolling hills of central
Primorska; the Karst, with its wonderful pršut (dry-cured ham), olives and wine; and the
coast itself (sometimes called Slovenian Istria).
Notranjska is mostly wooded, making it one of the best places in the country for outdoor
activities. It's also peppered with caves and castles - Predjama even has a castle wedged in
a cave. Postojna cave is one of Slovenia's most popular tourist sites, but don't miss isolated
Snežnik Castle or exploring Križna cave by boat.
