In July I will be going to Slovenia and Croatia (Istria peninsula) for 10 days, and I am still trying to decide what to do on day 9. Here is my itinerary so far-
Day 1: arrive in Ljubljana, explore old town
Day 2: Ljubljana old town and vicinity
Day 3: Lake Bled
Day 4 Triglavski
Day 5 Travel to Rovinj, stop at Postojna Caves on the way
Day 6: Piran and Koper
Day 7: Pula and area wineries
Day 8: Back to Ljubljana, stop at Predjama Castle on the way
Day 9: ????? Zagreb? Maridor? Ptuj? Something a local Slovenian knows about that I don't?
Day 10: fly home
Any suggestions?

Even though it's not exactly what you were looking for, I will note what a lot of
people comment on when posters ask for feedback on their itineraries; just make
sure you factor in travel times when you put together your plans.
A different place every day, assuming you're traveling by bus or car since trains
aren't very efficient in that part of the world, means you're getting maybe a half
a day and an evening in each place. The drive from Triglav to Rovinj seems
like the better part of a day all by itself, and this is not really taking into account
stopping to see things along the way.
Also, you have Postojna Caves on one day and Predjama Castle on another, but
they're right next to each other. Since day 5 and day 8 are your longest travel
days, do you have enough time to squeeze in those sights (especially with a
timed entry ticket for the caves)?
I would say that you probably have too much in here already, and that you might
consider adding a bit more time into what you already have, and maybe even
taking something like Pula out.

I probably should have mentioned I'm staying at airbnb's in Ljubljana for days 1-4, Rovinj for days 5-7, and Ljubljana again for days 8-10, so the driving times aren't as bad as you'd think.
