Activity description

Come and bike along the historic Parenzana Biking trail from Koper all to way to the spectacular town of Portoroz. Parenzana is an old narrow-gauge railway between Trieste, Italy and Poreč, Croatia, since been converted into a recreational pathway. 

Parenzana's name derives from the Italian Parenzo or Poreč in Croatian and the pathway has become a symbol of friendship between Slovenian, Italian and Croatian coastal towns.
Starting at the Cruise terminal in Koper, this panoramic bike tour takes you through old towns and villages, among vineyards and olive plantations, through tunnels and across valleys. The first stop is the charming little fishing town of Izola. As you cycle along, you will arrive at the valley of Strunjan, where you can admire the salt pans. Your guide will explain all about the importance of salt for the Istrian region. After a short stop, you will pass the Valeta tunnel and reach Portorož, where you will have some free time to stroll around and take in the beauty of the biggest beach resort in Slovenia. The final destination of the Parenzana biking path is the spectacular town of Piran. The town is considered a museum town because of its rich cultural heritage, narrow streets and charming Venetian architecture which you will be able to explore on your own before heading back to Koper.
