I never been to Izola before, so when Grega asked where I wanted to go I said somewhere warmer, cause this town is close to the sea and the weather so much warmer than other part of Slovenia. But I was wrong. When we were there, weather was a bit unfriend
ly, the wind blowed and made it even colde
r. So we didnt stay too long there, just walked around the sea and pier, then did a bit walk through old part of the town.When the weather is good, warm and sunny, this place is really perfect for biking, rollerblading, or just walking.Izola (It
alian: Isola or Isola d'Istria) is an ancient mediterranean town with a lively history on the Slovenian coast. a town, It is situated in southwestern Slovenia on the coast of the Adriatic Sea.Originally an island in the northern Adriatic (hence the name, which comes from the Italian for "island
"), it was first settled by the Romans, who built a port at Haliaetum, on Simons Bay, to the southwest of the present city.During the Middle Ages, it was controlled by the Venetian Republic.Its economic base was seriously hurt when Trieste (Trst in Slovene) became the premier port in the region and a plague struck in the 16th century.During the French occupati
on in the early 19th century, the city walls were torn 
down and used to fill in the channel that separated the island of Izola from the mainland. It also managed by Austria
-Hungary (1797-1805 and 1814-1918), Italy (1918-1947), Free Territory of Trieste (1947-1954) and Jugoslavia (1954-1991).
The island was inhabited in the first century and
was later connected to the mainland with a stone bridge. Izola use to be known as a city of the rebels. It has declared independence in 1253 and became a city with the proper laws and authority for a short period. In the
13th and 14th century there were also some "city wars" with the two neighbours Piran and Koper. In 1820 the termal spring was discovered and so the first steps toward tourism started. Later the fishing industry began to flourish, as the first fishing factory along the coast of adriatic was built. The city was sorrounded by a wall 
until 19th century, when it was pulled down and the material used to cover the sea between the island and the mainland.
