Day Trips from Koper to Slovenian Istria

Discover several towns along the Slovenian coast when you take this electric bike tour. Join a small group and easily pedal from Koper to Parenzana, making stops at several towns and parks along the way. Take in the sea views from Strunjan, sample local foods in Sentjane, explore the medieval town of Piran, and much more.

The winding roads of the Slovenian coast are made for leisurely exploration, but traveling by coach can mean long lines to reach attractions and even your seat on the bus. Enjoy the personal service of a small-group tour as you discover Piran, Portoroz, Koper, and the surrounding coast on a tour that’s tailored to your ship’s arrival; the small-group format ensures more time for sightseeing and less time waiting around.

This group excursion is ideal for travelers with limited time in Slovenia. You won’t have to worry about the trip being overcrowded. Take the stress out of planning transport by having round-trip transport from the cruise ship terminal or Koper hotels provided. Explore Postojna Cave with a guide, so you won’t get lost, and then visit the picturesque Predjama Castle.

Discover the Slovenian Riviera on a relaxed Land & Sea journey through Koper, Izola, and Piran, combining coastal scenery, guided walks, and local tastings. The tour departs from either the Koper Cruise Terminal or Izola Cruise Pier, depending on your ship’s port of call, with your guide meeting you directly at the pier. After a short introduction and distribution of tasting coupons, enjoy a gentle walking tour of Izola’s old town, known for its fishing heritage and relaxed coastal feel. Continue by open-air boat along the Istrian coast toward Piran, enjoying Adriatic views and the option to sample local wine or juice. After disembarking near the Red Lighthouse, take part in a short guided walk through Piran’s historic center, followed by free time to explore, relax by the sea, or enjoy an espresso. In the afternoon, travel by air-conditioned coach to Koper for a brief introduction and a tasting of traditional burek before returning to the pier.
