Hi Your info looks fabulous! My husband and I have just decided to go to Slovenia in 2 weeks time, for 2 weeks. There appears to be so much to do and see. We can't decide on our bases, 3 ideally, rather than moving constantly. We like to get a local feel of a place in preference to busy tourist bases. We will have a few days in Ljublana, but any chance you could suggest other areas to stay, Piran and Bovec perhaps? It is difficult to know in regards to getting around the mountains to lakes etc. Also thought if we have spare time may do a day trip into Croatia or even Austria is staying in northwest. Thank you
Sonja (Thursday, 24 August 2017 16:38)
Hi Sheryl!
you can choose Ljubljana, Piran and Bovec for the three bases, I think that's a good thing! If you want to "escape" the busy tourist places, I have alternatives for you: Skofja Loka or Kamnik (close to Ljubljana), Izola (close to Piran) and Tolmin/Kobarid (close to Bovec). If you're staying in Piran or Izola, you can do a day-trip to the Istria in Croatia - Novigrad and Rovinj are very nice! If you prefer to go to Austria, Wörthersee is a beautiful lake to visit.
Hope I could help you a bit, let me know if you need something else.
Cheers and enjoy the trip!

Hi,
Me and my boyfriend would really like to use your 7-day itinerary for Slovenia! We have a couple of questions that we hope you can help with:
1) How much money would you put aside for spending each day?
2) If, at the end of the 7 days, we wanted to go somewhere pretty to lie in the sun/slob out, is there anywhere you'd recommend in particular?
Thanks!
Sonja (Sunday, 20 May 2018 16:13)
Hi Rebecca
Thanks for your comment. Here are my answers:
1.) Hard to say - it depends on your preferences, lifestyle, activities. But I'd say a lunch in Slovenia costs between 6 - 15 EUR, ca 1.30 EUR per litre for petrol, cappuccino ca. 1.40 EUR in a cafe.. check out this page, it's very useful: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Slovenia
2.) I'd say the seaside - in Simonov zaliv (bay) in Izola; or Lake Bled / Lake Bohinj.
Hope you'll have a nice trip! Enjoy!!

Hi! This looks really nice itinerary. How much does this package cost?
Larry (Sunday, 11 August 2019 09:39)
Love your ideas of things to do in Slovenia. I would like to add in Plitvice National Park but it really messes up the rest of the itinerary because we only have seven days. How would you change the seven day itinerary to include Plitvice National Paul? Thank you so much in advance.

My name is Tom Peacock from USA, I want to say thank you to Dr Emu for the good thing he has done for me, Though am not sure if this is the best forum to show my joy and happiness for what he has done for me but i can't hide my happiness and my joy so i have to share it with people, my marriage got crashed about two years ago and i tried all i could within my power but to no avail. I saw a post and testimonial about the good things Dr Emu has been doing so I decided to give it a try. though he is always a busy man but when he responded back to my email, he gave me 48 hours for my marriage to be restored really just like he said my marriage was restored since then I am happy and i am living happily i am so grateful to Dr Emu you can always email him here: {emutemple@gmail.com} or WhatsApp: {+2347012841542}

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

RECOVER YOUR SCAMMED BITCOIN WITH ULTIMATE HACKER JERRY.
Hello everyone, I was a victim of bitcoin scam, I saw a glamorous review showering praises and marketing an investment firm, I reached out to them on their terms of investments and invested $155,000 which I was promised to get my first 15% profit in weeks, when it was time to retire my profits, I got to know the company was bogus, they kept asking me to invest more and I ran out of patience then requested to have my money back, they refused to answer nor refund my funds, not until an old family friend introduced me to Ultimate Hacker Jerry, I reached out and after submitting my case, Ultimate Hacker Jerry was swift to action and within 36 hours I got back my funds with the due profit. I couldn’t contain the joy in me. I urge you guys to reach out to Ultimate Hacker Jerry on their support email: (Ultimatehackerjerry@seznam.cz) or WhatsAp +1(520)2 827151 ).
