TIC Izola

The old Mediterranean town of Izola leans on the southwestern coast of the Gulf of Trieste, where the authentic tradition of fishing and winemaking, the mystical traces of the past and the friendliness of the locals merge into an unforgettable mosaic of experiences. The temperamental pulse of the city and its romantic character invite you into their arms, so they say that you never forget Izola. The varied history of the fishing town has created beautiful architectural treasures and old legends that take you back to the time when Izola was still an island. You can feel the spirit of the Mediterranean at every step through the compact medieval streets, at the sight of the rocking boats in the harbor, with the relaxed chat of the locals and with the smell of seafood culinary specialties in the company of a noble wine drop. You will never be bored in Izola, as various sports, cultural and entertainment events take place throughout the year, which seek their inspiration in old customs and traditions. Museums, galleries and art studios will take you to the world of Istrian art and crafts, but if you want real spiritual refreshments, take a ride on the waves of the Adriatic. The picturesque countryside of Izola with its many valleys and long hills is a temple of gourmet pleasures that you can discover in many local inns and tourist farms, mostly with a wonderful view of the Gulf of Trieste. The hinterland of Izola offers countless possibilities for wandering and discovering the natural beauty of the Istrian hills, which are decorated with charming stone houses and old churches. You can go on it on foot, by bike or even on horseback.
