Izola is an absolutely lovely small seaside town that is a summer vacation favorite for Slovenians (so I heard) and i would say it's a hidden gem to replace a visit to Piran with as it's full of a vibrant life of locals, with small open air concerts etc. I stayed at Hostel Alieti which is a big reason for my good experience since I met a lot of lovely slovenians there of all different ages. Restaurant Parangal was also really good. Not a party town, not a town in general so not much to see, but a lovely atmosphere to enjoy. Would recommend cycling, i cycled to Piran back and loved it. Would absolutely recommend and i'm so happy i stumbled across this town on my Interrail.
Posted: October 22, 2025Experienced: May, 2025Izola is a truly warm and simply beautiful place to slow down. I found the beaches, which are very easily accessible on foot, to be the most beautiful. My favorites were Strunjan Beach and Bele Skale Beach, truly wonderful.
Posted: August 10, 2025Experienced: May, 2025I loooooved it there. Prettiest mountains i’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t really recommend it for people with a fear of heights, but for those who enjoy hiking, it’s an amazing spot – truly beautiful and pleasant. I loved every minute I spent there and I’m longing to go back. If someone wants to swim, that’s possible too in a few lakes, though the water will be pretty cold, haha.

During the day it is very safe but i personally wouldnt go around parks at night The public transport is also safe, dont rely on trains too much, they are always late Otherwise its chill, i dont have to worry about getting robbed
Posted: November 23, 2025I feel like overall, it's very safe, yes, especially at night, I've never felt particularly unsafe. You may get harassed by men on a rare occasion. Unfortunately, I believe that's a norm in every city around the world.

It is annoyingly safe. It is so safe it's actually boring. There are ofc some parts of the city where I personaly would not go at night withou pepper spray but overall even if you have to go outside at night the chanves of something more than cat calling are almost 0%. I lived there for 18 years so when I say its safe I really mean it :)

Hi! I am a student from Slovenia who wishes to backpack around Europe. Some of my hobbies are reading, drawing and horse-back riding. I would love to go on a trail ride if the opportunity arises. I love music and photography so I like beautiful views and aesthetic scenery.

Hi there! I'm freshly 18, and would love to travel as much as possible. I lived 7 years altogether in Belgium, but the rest, and right now, I live in my home country of Slovenia. I speak many languages, fluently Slovenian and English, but also French, German, Esperanto, and Slovenian sign language. I'm very extroverted and may talk your ear off, but I understand the need for personal space and will not be offended if you tell me to can it. I love learning about people and cultures and am excited to discover places beyond my country. I want to be completely open and say that I am a queer person. I definitely like thrilling experiences, and currently, only my age and money held me back 😅 I am currently unable to host as I live with my parents, and based on the housing prices, will do so for the foreseeable future :(
