Norman was a great guide for the four of us through the town of Piran. He had an answer for all of our questions, even the left-field ones, and some good anecdotes as we walked around. If you don't have a ton of time in town, this is especially a good way to get around the town and see the highlights in a short amount of time. At the end, he also gave us a great restaurant recommendation for dinner.Carole_G

La petite ville à laquelle on accède au moyen d'une navette après avoir laissé son véhicule au parking en sortie de ville, est organisée autour de la place Tartini en hommage au célèbre compositeur et violoniste. Un campanile très vénitien la domine. Le petit port est calme et très coloré. Ici aussi, les ruelles, très étroites, apportent leur fraîcheur et sont bien agréables à parcourir. La presqu'île se rétrécit peu à peu pour aboutir à la tour-phare.
