Escape the hustle and bustle with a day on the coast, departing from the charming town of Isola at 9:00 a.m. As our vessel glides along the Slovenian coast, a panorama of coastal beauty unfolds. The azure waters mirror the sky, and the coastline is a tapestry of colors, from the vibrant greens of Mediterranean flora to the deep blues of the sea.
Piran, a jewel on the Adriatic, reveals itself from the sea, offering a unique perspective of Slovenia's most visited city. Across the waves lies San Bernardino Bay, a haven for a permanent dolphin colony monitored by the non-profit organization Morigenos. If luck is on our side, we may encounter these magnificent sea dwellers, adding a touch of enchantment to our maritime journey.
Our next stop is the picturesque Strunjan Bay, nestled between Izola and Piran within the Strunjan Park. Established in 1990, the park boasts typically Mediterranean flora and fauna, creating a vibrant spectacle where dark green vegetation meets the blue waters. The Venetian bell tower of San Giorgio graces the skyline, offering a timeless charm. Here, in this serene bay, a delightful lunch awaits, providing a tranquil respite away from the crowds.
Continuing our maritime odyssey, we set sail to "Bele Skale," another hidden gem along the coast. This bay is defined by a towering white cliff, turquoise waters, and a beach of pristine white pebbles. Snorkelers are in for a treat, discovering the underwater wonders of the Fins Nobilis, the largest bivalve in the Mediterranean. This secluded spot, accessible only by sea or a long walk from Isola, invites a moment of connection with nature and the sea.
As the day winds down, we chart our course back to Isola, arriving at 5:00 p.m. It concludes a day dedicated to relaxation and the sea, away from the summer crowds. Whether you choose to lounge on deck with a refreshing cocktail, take a dip in the crystal-clear waters, or savor an al fresco lunch with a breathtaking view, this maritime escape promises a day of tranquility and rejuvenation. Until the next sailing adventure!
