Off the Beaten Path (2015) : 9x4

The Slovene Littoral forms the western part of Slovenia along the northern Adriatic coast, bordering Italy’s Friuli Venezia Giulia region. This coastal area blends Mediterranean charm with a rich cultural and historical heritage. Though Slovenia’s coastline is short, it offers remarkable diversity, from picturesque seaside towns to mysterious karst caves inland. Silvia, originally from Slovakia, has lived here for 13 years. She studied tourism, built a family, and fell in love with the sea and local lifestyle. We begin in Koper, the centre of Slovenia’s coast. After visiting the fishing harbour and market, we explore nearby vineyards, search for truffles, and taste local specialties, from olive oil to more adventurous dishes.
