TOP 9 experience in Mediterranean & Karst Slovenia<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Despite the incredibly short geographic distance – you can go from lounging on your couch in Ljubljana to dipping your toes in the sea in under an hour even if you drive (near) the speed limit – inclimate, culture, cuisine and appearance Slovenia’s Mediter\u00adranean region is a world away from the rest of the country. While the country only has some 47 km of Adriatic coastline, Slovenes have truly made the most of it, and meter for meter you won\u2019t find more to see, do, taste and experience anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

Picture perfect Venetian towns and modern beach resorts compete for the attention of visitors, and the sea breeze all but guarantees sunny days throughout the year, even as the rest of the country is covered in clouds and\/or log. Away from the water, the land primarily consists of a large Karst plateau, and the fertile wine growing districts Gori\u0161ka Brda, Vipava Valley, Kras and Slovenska lstra producing some of Europe’s best wine, which has increasingly become recognized internationally.<\/p>\n

Witness the Dance of Death in the Church of the Holy Trinity<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hrastovlje, www.koper.si<\/a><\/p>\n

The village of Hrastovlje is known for its 13th century Church of the Holy Trinity, whose entire interior is cov\u00adered in frescoes by the 15th century Slovene artist Janez of Castua, including the eerily enchanting Dance of Death, or Danse Macabre. Most of the equally im\u00adpressive other works take their themes from the Old Testament, and some include inscriptions in Glagolitic, the oldest known Slavic alphabet.<\/p>\n
