evidence: The gem of the Slovene Riviera and one of the most beautiful places in the entire country, Piran is a historic harbour town set on a narrow peninsula, hemmed in by the Gulf of Trieste on three sides. [...] Viewed from above, Piran is a wedge of terracotta rooftops wrapped in the blue satin ruffles of the Adriatic and fringed with dusky green olive trees. On ground level, there’s a never-ending supply of quaint alleyways to get lost down, plazas to wander, wine bars to perch yourself at, and seafood restaurants to sample. [...] Peninsular Piran is comprised of dozens of narrow stone passageways, cobbled alleys and pitched streets interspersed with small market squares, fountains and sculptures.
