Overview

A small-group day tour from Ljubljana to the UNESCO-listed Škocjan Caves and the Venetian coastal town of Piran, with a licensed local guide and no more than 8 guests.

In a country with thousands of caves, Škocjan is the one we take our visiting friends to. You walk through an underground canyon carved by the Reka river, across a footbridge set almost 50 metres above the water, through halls large enough to hold a cathedral. It is UNESCO-listed, and far quieter than Slovenia's busier show caves, which is exactly why we chose it for this route.

On the way to the coast, you stop at Socerb Castle, perched on the edge of the Karst plateau with the whole Gulf of Trieste below. Then Piran, five centuries of Venice in one compact old town: narrow lanes, Tartini Square, the little harbour, time for a seafood lunch by the water, and in the summer months, enough free time for a swim in the Adriatic. Your guide knows which konoba is worth your hour.

Skocjanske Jame

Your day starts with pickup in central Ljubljana. On the roughly 1-hour drive, your guide introduces the Karst, the limestone region that gave its name to karst landscapes worldwide, and the cave you are about to walk through. Then a 2-hour guided tour of the Škocjan Caves: an underground canyon carved by the Reka river, a footbridge set almost 50 metres above the water, halls large enough to hold a cathedral. UNESCO-listed, and far quieter than Slovenia's busier show caves.

Piran

Then Piran, five centuries of Venice in one compact old town: narrow lanes, Tartini Square, the little harbour.
