Translated from Greek, Piran means "fire". The city on the Slovenian Riviera manages to ignite the hearts of travelers with the heritage of ancient tribes and peoples, Tartini Square, Venetian architecture, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere. The beaches in Piran are miniature concrete platforms with ladders to descend into the water. Baths adjoin taverns, cafes and pedestrian areas, and tables and umbrellas are set up on the shore during the tourist season.
