Giro veloce in bici da Portorose a Isola d'Istria

This lovely ride takes you along the sun-drenched Slovenian coast, starting in Portorož—the country’s iconic seaside resort known for its lively promenade and salt pans. From here, you'll pedal northeast towards Izola, covering just over 9 km on mostly smooth, paved surfaces. The route is mostly made up of dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, winding gently between coastal landscapes with a couple of easy climbs (total ascent of about 146 meters, nothing too daunting).

You’ll enjoy great sea views along the way, and maybe spot a vineyard or two. After a leisurely hour in the saddle, you’ll roll into Izola, a charming old fishing town famous for its Venetian history and colorful waterfront. Don’t forget to reward yourself with a gelato or a coffee at the harbor. This is an ideal little adventure for a sunny day—perfect whether you’re a local or just passing through!
