Greetings.
We are planning a 2 weeks family trip to Slovenia in July 2024, 2 adults, 3 teenagers, average fit. We enjoy hands on activities, the countryside, nature, interact with the locals etc
Nothing is booked yet, this is a draft. We usually try to pick about 3 homes bases, but this is what I came up considering the area and things we would like to do/see, and not too much driving per day. Does it look efficient? Recommendations for different home bases? We would appreciate any advice.
Piran-this place seems to be on everyone’s list and highly recommended. But since we are going there in July, will the hot/humid weather and too many fellow tourists make going stressful? Also the hassle of getting there…will there be a traffice bottle neck? And parking seems like a headache. Any advice?
Day 1-arrive lju airport (most flights from east coast USA arrive in the afternoon) pick up car, check in at a BB nearby
Day 2-day trip to Bled area and Radovljica (beekeeping museum) (sleep in the BB near airport)
