evidence: Recreational activities abound, from biking the seaside promenade, to sailing in the gentle waters of the Gulf of Piran. Swimming and tanning are, of course, exceptionally popular. One of the best, indeed, one of the only sights in Piran is the Church of St. George, and it’s worth hiking to the top of the bell tower (1€) to catch a spectacular view of the town. Portions of Piran’s old city walls run through the hill behind it, which can also be toured, and just behind them is the local cemetery, which is typically filled with bedazzling flower displays.
