Portoroz tours often visit other seaside villages along the Slovenian Coast, such as Piran, Izola, and Koper. Day trips leave from Ljubljana, Koper, and Trieste, and include round-trip transportation, allowing you to enjoy the seaside views. Portoroz is also a jumping-off point for exploring the wine regions of Istria and Kvarner, and several food and wine tours are offered from here.
Portoroz is on the Adriatic Coast, 21 miles (34 kilometers) south of Trieste in Italy, and 73 miles (118 kilometers) southwest of Ljubljana. It's easily reached by car or bus, and there is also boat service from Venice. The town has a small airport, mostly for charter planes, and the closest international airports are in Trieste and Ljubljana.
July and August are the busiest months to visit the Adriatic Coast, and you can expect crowded beaches and higher priced accommodations during this time—so be sure to arrive at the beach early in the day to secure a prime spot. Visit in May, June, or September, and enjoy the beach with fewer crowds while the weather is still pleasant.
Portoroz Beach is a large sandy, man-made beach surrounded by a huge selection of cafés, restaurants, shops, and a seaside promenade. Umbrellas, chairs, and towels are available for rent at the beach, and lifeguards patrol the area. There are also playgrounds for children, sand volleyball courts, and paddleboard rentals.
