5.00Norman was a great guide for the four of us through the town of Piran. He had an answer for all of our questions, even the left-field ones, and some good anecdotes as we walked around. If you don't have a ton of time in town, this is especially a good way to get around the town and see the highlights in a short amount of time. At the end, he also gave us a great restaurant recommendation for dinner.
Great walk seeped in history

5.00The small town, which can be reached by shuttle bus after leaving its vehicle in the parking lot outside the city, is organized around Tartini Square in tribute to the famous composer and violinist. A very Venetian campanile dominates it. The small port is quiet and very colorful. Here too, the narrow streets bring their freshness and are very pleasant to walk. The peninsula gradually shrinks to become the light tower.
