Izola
Izola / Isola
A fishing town between Piran and Koper that was once an island. Its old town lanes are quiet, and its seafood restaurants and waterfront promenade are highlights.
Izola sees fewer tourists than Piran. Its old town has the Church of St. Mauro and a small Venetian-style square. Restaurants by the fishing harbor are known for fried sardines and seafood pasta. The town is home to the Parenzana Railway Museum, and Simon's Bay beach to the west is good for swimming. From Piran, the bus takes about 20 minutes, or you can cycle about 1 hour along the Parenzana cycle path.
