A BOAT RIDE TO THE SALT PANS - Board the Solinarka ship in the harbour of Izola to visit the salt pans of Sečovlje. As an area rich in biodiversity, the salt pans are a uniquely important natural environment, inhabited by highly interesting plant and animal species. Our ancestors, the salt pan workers, farmers and fishermen, left us a rich cultural and natural heritage. The boat ride will also take you to the neighbouring medieval town of Piran that will charm you with its lively cultural scene. The Solinarka ship sails every day throughout the summer, upon prior reservation. Call +386 (0)31 653 682 for reservations.

A place for meet lovers. Under the leafy canopy of chestnut trees, visitors will be met by the warm seaside hospitality of Doro’s staff throughout the year. Here, at Doro’s, the hosts want their guests to just relax and enjoy a sip of excellent wine and selected house specialties. The meat is cooked over a carefully prepared grill, using only a specially selected sweet charcoal. Grilling over this charcoal gives the dishes a unique aroma and an exceptional flavour.
