Surpassed my expectations

★★★★★
5 5 1
Slovenia surpassed my expectations. The people are so friendly, the scenery is absolutely beautiful, and the local cuisine is delicious. There was nothing I would change from the experience. I really hope to go back in the near future.

Hidden Gem

★★★★★
5 5 1
Slovenia is a hidden gem - wonderful hiking adventures in a pristine environment, gourmet food beyond your imagination, and a warm and inviting culture.

Special Place

★★★★★
5 5 1
I like hiking with long distance views of mountains and also good food and wine. We had plenty of all these. Slovenia is well known to active European travelers but we met very few Americans there. Now is the time to visit before the word gets out!

Weather

As you will likely be journeying through various regions, each with its own microclimate, you can expect the weather to be variable throughout your journey, especially when in the mountains and at higher elevations. Rain is possible at any time in the Alps, and weather conditions can change rapidly, so having rain gear on hand is advisable. At the same time, the sun is strong at higher elevations and along the coast, and therefore adequate precautions should be taken to prevent sunburn, even on cool, sunny days. We recommend dressing in layers for optimal comfort.

Cuisine

The experience of Slovenian cuisine is inseparably connected with the concept of gostilna restaurants, traditional places to enjoy good food and wine in good company. Gostilnas often serve dishes prepared with old recipes using local ingredients. The Slovenian countryside is dotted with small family farms, and food ingredients are relatively healthy and often organically grown. Slovenian wines, meanwhile, can enthuse even the most demanding connoisseur. Our evening meals are enjoyed at our hotels, or at some of the best restaurants in the area. Vegetarians can be accommodated with advance notice, though choices tend to be more limited.
