Going out to the seaside ... PORTOROŽ

5 April 2008. Our next destination after Izola was next town, Portorož. It was my second time here. Too bad the weather was not so good. During the summer, this place pack with tourist, laying down in the beach for sunbathing. This town is one of main tourist place in Slovenia. Lot of hotels and if you want to try your luck you can go to casinos as well :-D Some people said its like French Riviera (Code D'Azur), only in small version :-)
Portorož (Portorose in Italian, mean "Port of Roses"), but it has been labeled Portobeton ("Port of Concrete") by Slovenian wags, is a coastal town in Slovenia and one of the country's largest tourist areas. Belonging to the Municipality of Piran and inhabited by 3,000 people, Portorož is home to a marina, casino, and numerous sporting facilities. There is also a small international airport in nearby Sečovlje.
