Discount Cruises – A Fantastic Trip At A Reduced PriceSlovenia, The New Look Of Old Europe...by Rite Rodder All seasons throughout the year are suitable to visit Slovenia. This ecofriendly region of Europe is certainly a distinct European destination; whenever you go across the boundary, you can anticipate an excellent assortment of scenery that varies in amazing trend, with pleasant citizens and appetizing gastronomy, fitness resort and SPAS. Vacationer homesteads and sports are offered to everyone at Slovenia. You can enjoy a breath of fresh air on the eastern slopes of the Alps, where there are Fresh pergolas, narrow alleys and ocher palaces. The forty kilo meters of this small landlocked between Italy and Croatia, is an area that plunge into the turquoise waters of the Adriatic. The area is inclusive of Koper, Izola, Spa Portoroz and Piran medieval village. In Slovenia, between the vicinity where there are fishing boats in the water and vineyards as well as olive groves on the land, this area is occupied by the Greeks, Venetians, Hapsburgs and the Slavs. At Portoroz there are young women who speak with the Russian accent; these women operate the house of SPA a profession that is the specialty of Istria Slovenian. 
Their customers, most of who are Italians herd in great numbers to enjoy a good taste of local ham burger or goulash bear. But Slovenia is a country having beautiful coastline and whose citizens are primarily oriented towards the mountains and they are fierce guardians of the eastern bastion of the Alps. Between Hungary, Austria and Italy, the republic of the former Yugoslavia has the densest forests in Europe. Very well known as a land of bears, this small country having a population of barely two million people is the ideal destination for nature lovers and extreme sports. As for leisure and entertainments, this land is a most recommended destination for rock climbing, rafting and hiking. There are registered sites of more than 8000 caves especially in Postojna Skocjan or in the south west. Driving some few miles to the north, there you will reach Bled which is worldly famous for its lake and the ancient resort of the Austro-Hungarian, now is considered as a flagship of the Slovenian tourism. This superb location recalls a decoration of operetta or a Sissi praline dream. Here Khrushchev, Nasser, Castro and the Shah of Iran were seduced. Tito had built his summer dwelling now later converted into Palace and Stronghold. Planted on a rocky peak, a medieval castle of the tenth century, a gift from the German Emperor Henry II to the Bishop of Brixen and now it dominates the magnificent landscape. In the winter with its typical cold ice of the lake, this location has been chosen to be an ideal site for skating competition. Next after the cold season of the winter, then comes the moment for summer bathes and where addicted folks know no other places for drift boat competition in the water. Right in the middle on the tiny island, is the visible sight of a pointed steeple mounted on the roof of the baroque church which houses the relics of Ziva. In fact Ziva was the goddess of love and fertility, her religious rite was celebrated in the late middle ages, but now she still attracts pilgrims and lovers. A small charming capital, Ljubljana stretches to the forests which is the suburbs of the town. The pictorial of Slovenia can be visualized as their castle hovering on a hill with pedestrian widely spread, narrow streets lined with baroque churches. The city was mostly marked by Joze Plecnik, the Gaudi Balkans. Apart from the famous triple bridge over the river Ljubljanica, the buildings of architect dotting the city mixing of new and ancient designs and sometimes downright kitsch. In a different mood, the art of the era 2000 invested in Metelkova, a neighborhood where the former Yugoslav army was camped, but is now converted in artists' studios. In the evening we find ourselves in the countryside taverns where they serve beer and wines, or in the many bars and restaurants of different design. In short, Slovenia is in a scent of old Europe but in modern prosperity. |
