Leaving Soča Valley behind may sound heart-breaking, but rest assured that what comes next is simply out of this world. Your destination on day five is one of Slovenia’s most significant regions – the Karst, which is most famous for its remarkable underground world. It’s where the topographical term karst originates from. It also happens to be the home of Lipica Stud Farm, the cradle of the famous Lipizzaner horses. Charming villages, the bora-swept plains, and sunlit vineyards will do nothing but amaze you as you slowly drift towards the coast.

The Venetian-style town of Piran, the main port and historic hub of Koper, and the modern playground of Portorož will introduce you to the Mediterranean side of Slovenia. with that special seaside vibe and easy-going atmosphere. Here you can simply relax or hop on a bicycle to explore the hilly surroundings, enjoy some gourmet treats, or learn first-hand about the fascinating history of salt making.

Accommodation

Overnight stay on the Coast

The final day of your fly & drive journey takes you into one of the most beautiful caves on the planet: Slovenia’s fabulous miracle of Postojna Cave. A perfect way to round up your trip. And before you dash off to Ljubljana, a pitstop at Predjama Castle, the magnificent medieval wonder built into a cliff’s face, is an awesome way of saying goodbye. Until your next visit to Slovenia, that is.

Important

The temperature in the cave is 10C, so make sure you have warm layers with you.

A week is not long, but it’s enough to get a superb feel for Slovenia and to witness its main attractions. You can do all that, and more, on our unforgettable Fly & Drive Holiday in Slovenia.

Especially if you spend most of your time enjoying the tourist offer without worrying about how to reach your destinations and organizing other painstaking logistics. Thanks to Slovenia’s small size and great road connectivity, and our carefully devised itinerary, you can focus entirely on the fun aspects of your holiday.

And do not worry if you want to extend your holiday for a day or two in order to see a few other places or stay somewhere longer; optional extras are always available.

The loveliest and greenest capital Ljubljana will be your starting point. After a sufficient dose of sightseeing and indulging in local gastronomy, you will head north to the Alpine region. The stunning Lake Bled area with its ancient castle, church island, and other fascinating spots will keep you highly entertained.

Next on the agenda are the wild treasures nestled in the incredibly captivating Triglav National Park: Lake Bohinj, Slovenia’s largest lake, and the Soča Valley area, where time stands still and the pristine environment invites into its magical ambiance.

Driving south, the landscape changes before your eyes as you head towards the enchanting Karst.

Frequently Asked Questions

The included pickup and drop-off at the end of the holiday in the price published on our website is in Ljubljana. For any changes, please notify us upon booking. The included transfers are all the transfers between places and/or activities specified in the itinerary.

Both our back office team and our guides know where to go. We can give you recommendations or even pre-book some places for you. You can be adventurous and find places on your own. Either way, let us know if you would like any sort of help.

It is important to dress for the season. Slovenia has all 4 seasons, so please check the weather forecast before the day trip regarding temperatures and rainfall. When you are close to the Alps, the weather can change fairly quickly, so your best bet is to always bring an extra layer. We recommend shoes you will be comfortable in.

It really depends on the level of your restriction. Vegetarian options are fairly easy to find in Slovenia, but vegan dishes, on the other hand, are extremely hard to come by in rural areas of the country and in smaller towns. Please note that the places where we stop for lunch are often traditional and may have difficulties accommodating you outside of their standard menu. We suggest you keep this in mind.

The tour plan was really wonderful, a good balance of urban and outdoor locations and experiences. The trip app worked perfectly, making it simple to keep organized with excursion vouchers, route maps, site descriptions, etc. it also made it easy to communicate with the travel company when we occasionally had questions. We were amazed at how much variety there was in a relatively small area. I highly recommend this company and this particular trip plan for anyone who would like to explore this area of Slovenia.

The service provided by this company is first class. Our agent, Marusa was superb in terms of her communication, her suggestions and recommendations and brilliant organisation of our trip. Had we tied to organise for ourselves we would almost certainly have missed things out through lack of knowledge. Everything worked so well that we were able to make the most of our first wonderful visit to this beautiful, friendly and hospitable country. We loved it.

Slovenia Holidays did a fantastic job in putting together an eight-day, tailor-made tour for our small group. We had an amazing time and highly enjoyed all elements of our trip – including tour of Ljubljana, gorge hiking, visiting Slovenia’s famous caves, alpine views, hot air balloon ride, beautiful coastal town of Piran and, of course, delicious food and wine 😊. Our holiday agent – Grega - was a pleasure to work with and ensured our holiday covered the key locations and experiences Slovenia has to offer. The tour was a perfect introduction of Slovenia – beautiful and diverse country. We enjoyed everything, well organised and felt in safe hands. Our guide – Sanda - was a good match for us and tuned into our relaxed attitude. We would highly recommend Slovenia Holidays to anyone wishing to discover and explore real Slovenia.

He was knowledgeable, punctual, entertaining, reliable, experienced... the perfect guide! It was a pleasure to indulge in such a breathtakingly beautiful country. Thank you, Ivana and Grega, for arranging our trip professionally and efficiently.
