Gently cocooned between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, Slovenia's natural unspoilt scenery and cultural sites offer a wealth of variety for a holiday, where a secret world of underground grottoes and historical treasures of ancient cities await exploration. Winding streets hide museums, inviting cafes and friendly shops and if you're lucky, colourful carnivals where you can see the traditional costumes and traditions of the Austrian heritage.
Clean mountain air spills down from the peaks of the Julian Alps and floats through emerald forests flowered with foliage, travelling on to a world of olive groves and vineyards. For an undisturbed destination with it all - mountains, lakes, sea, ski resorts, cities and culture - discover Slovenia, the green heart of Europe.
Slovenia's coastline is covered in rich vegetation and Koper, the country's only seaport is a bustling town with beautiful vistas stretching out to the warm azure seas. The capital Ljubljana cherishes a 15-century medieval castle, an exquisite opera house and many of the city's fine structures are courtesy of architect Joze Plecnik who combined classical architecture with contemporary design.
