be just what you are looking for...
Lake Bled
Lake Bled has all the ingredients for the perfect holiday
- stunning scenery, reliable weather conditions, thermal
lake water, good quality accommodation and that
famous island in the middle of the lake with its baroque
church. The beauty of the mountains reflected on the
lake, the serenity and the fresh air regularly attract
visitors from all over the world. Weddings at Lake Bled
are quite common due to great venues such as fairy-tale
Bled Castle that overlooks the lake.

Lake Bohinj
Bohinj is the best known glacial valley of the Julian Alps,
situated in the vast and beautiful Triglav National Park
and dominated by magnificent Julian Alps range. There
are little hamlets dotted around the densely wooded
lake front and at its head lies the most famous Slovenian
waterfall Savica. Everything in this area is geared
towards full enjoyment of an active holiday, yet with full
respect for the nature - even a local tour-boat is powered
by an electric engine!

Kranjska Gora
Nestled in the heart of Zgornjesavska Valley, only a few
miles away from the neighbouring Austria and Italy,
Kranjska Gora is the most popular Slovenian resort for
an active holiday. There is so much to do in Kranjska
Gora that you will need at least one day off to relax and
reflect on where you have been and where you still must
visit. For those after a more tranquil holiday then the
various wellness centres offering spa treatments and
packages will be the perfect place to relax and unwind.

What to see and do
Slovenia is heaven for exploring spirits with a huge variety
of exciting activities to suit every taste. The beautiful lakes
and mountains regions offer endless walking and excursion
possibilities, golfing, horseback riding, kayaking or fishing and
for the more curious, a chance to visit the subterranean world
of mysterious caves. The coastal areas offer a fantastic range of
water based activities including sailing, windsurfing, diving and
swimming or a refreshing dip in the spring and mud baths. The
enjoyment doesn't end when the night falls - there are musical
concerts of all kinds, folk-dancing shows, and many carnivals
celebrating the ancient traditions of this magical land.
Walking
Slovenia is a 'hiker's paradise' with well-marked trails
and paths criss-crossing the whole area, including an
internationally famed 'Via Alpina' that starts in distant
Monaco! Enjoy renowned vistas of the mighty Mt.Triglav
while rambling across flower-filled meadows speckled with
traditional hay racks. Experience the feeling of freedom
amidst dramatic gorges, peaceful lakes and rushing rivers,
shadowed by rough, jagged peaks of the majestic Julian Alps.
Food and Drink
With a staggering choice of more than 1,200 national dishes
(100 different soups!), dining out is a fascinating and delightful
experience. Slovenian cuisine is greatly influenced by its
neighbours' taste in food, with Austrian-style sausages, strudels,
risottos and pasta dishes widely available. A real Slovenian treat
is 'Potica'- a cake prepared with the widest variety of sweet or
savoury fillings. There are some truly outstanding full-bodied
red, fruity white and rose wines which compare favourably to
the rest of the world.
Currency
The monetary unit in Slovenia is the Euro. There are approx. 1.35
Euros to £1 (at Sep 2015). Foreign currency can be exchanged at
the airports, banks, exchange bureau, post offices and hotels.
Major credit cards are accepted in hotels, restaurants and shops.
Weather
Weather in Slovenia varies considerably depending on the area,
yet the average July temperature remains 27°C. Hot sunny days
and cool evenings with an occasional shower are an occurrence
in the mountains.
