Today we include a leisurely trip to lovely Opatija, nestled along the banks of the Adriatic Sea.
Spend time exploring the town at your leisure. Perhaps work up an appetite strolling along Opatija's promenade, the Lungomare, and enjoy a leisurely al fresco lunch. Much of the promenade’s length is shaded by chestnut and laurel trees, and there are inviting benches which allow you to sit and admire the view of the islands of Cres and Krk, looming in the shimmering blue of Kvarner Bay.
Enjoy time at leisure in resort or join us in Portorož and Umag on our optional excursion. The pretty town of Portorož lies in Slovenia, and is well reputed for spectacular beaches and where a wealth of promenade cafés are located from which to enjoy the coastal scenery. We also admire the historical backdrop of Umag, famous for the 16th-century church.
