Izola
Izola is an ancient Mediterranean town with a lively history on the Slovenian coast. The old part of the town rests upon what once used to be an island, which is where its name comes from. In Latin, 'isola' means 'an island'.
The fishing tradition is nowadays still present in Izola's tourist programs and cuisine. The local specialties include olive oil and home made vine. Positioned on the northern part of the Istra peninsula and having its own Marina the city remains one of the leading centers of nautical tourism.
