Summer suits this corner of Europe. Cooler mornings in the mountains give way to long Adriatic evenings, and a rhythm shaped as much by food and culture as by landscape. From Slovenia’s green capital and alpine lakes to Istria’s coastal towns and inland flavours, this journey moves easily between worlds — calm, cultured and quietly confident.
7 nights across Slovenia and Istria, Croatia. Includes international flights, private transfers, hand-picked hotels, guided cultural experiences and immersive encounters with local cuisine, history and landscape.
Begin in Ljubljana, a capital defined by riverside calm, baroque façades and an easy café culture. From here, travel into the mountains to Lake Bled, where fresh air, forested slopes and cooking grounded in local tradition shape a slower pace.
The route then softens towards the sea. Portorož and Piran reveal the Adriatic at its most elegant — sunlit squares, Venetian heritage and time spent by the water. Crossing into Istria, the landscape deepens: truffle woods, olive groves and hilltop villages before arriving in Rovinj, where contemporary design and old-town views meet the sea.
Throughout, private guides bring context and depth — interpreting history, introducing local producers and opening doors to experiences rarely found independently.

Arrive in Zagreb and transfer privately to Ljubljana, Slovenia’s green and graceful capital. Settle into your boutique hotel in the heart of the old town and ease into the rhythm of the city with a gentle riverside walk or an early evening meal overlooking the Ljubljanica.

From truffle forests and olive groves to medieval castles and Adriatic towns shaped by centuries of trade and culture.
Seamless private transfers, expert local guides and carefully chosen hotels that reflect both place and pace.
Cooking beside Lake Bled, Predjama Castle rising from rock, seafood and wine in Piran, and sunset views across Rovinj’s old town.
Slovenia and Istria feel refreshingly undiscovered — compact in scale yet rich in contrast. Distances are short, but the landscapes shift constantly, from alpine lakes and forests to medieval towns and Adriatic coastline. Food is central to the experience, rooted in local traditions and seasonal produce, and best enjoyed slowly. This journey rewards those who appreciate culture, scenery and the pleasure of discovering a destination before it becomes widely known.
