| |
The resort of Portorož lies on the coast of Slovenia just over two miles SE of the small harbour of Piran and two miles N of the border with Croatia. Essentially Slovenia’s only major mass-market beach resort, the coastline is lined with modern, high-rise hotels and casinos and the town, while pleasant, has few of the attractions of the old Venetian harbours along the coast, such as Piran, Koper or even Izola. However, it is a good base for over-wintering or for leaving a yacht to explore the fascinating hinterland of Slovenia. Just S of the resort is the large marina of Marina Portoroz, which offers 650 berths for yachts up to 30 metres and draft up to 3.5 metres.
