Unforgettable Fly & Drive Holiday in Slovenia

Ljubljana is among the nicest and most practical capitals you will ever visit. Sightseeing is ridiculously easy, as the city’s highlights are crammed into a relatively small area, easily navigated on foot. You will get a taste of Slovene culture, architecture and urban life, before heading to the nearby mountainous paradise of the Julian Alps.

A short drive from Bled is another unforgettable Alpine gem – Lake Bohinj. Nestled in the heart of the Julian Alps, Lake Bohinj and its surroundings are a nature lover’s dream. The area offers countless options of spending time in the wild outdoors: Hiking, cycling or gravity-defying mountaineering. Additional thrills can be had in the nearby canyons and rivers, or you can opt for some tranquil relaxation at the lakeshore. Spectacular views are guaranteed either way.

Just as you thought Slovenia couldn’t get any prettier, you will drive up the Vršič Pass and the windy road will take you to Soča Valley along the stunning Soča River. Your destination is the adrenaline capital of Slovenia, Bovec. This jaw-droppingly gorgeous place has a list of activities to choose from, as well as a wide assortment of natural phenomena that will inspire all your senses.

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.

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.
