Things to Do

Just a stone’s throw away from the fashionable promenade of Portorož, the most attractive place in the Piran Bay is the place where time has stopped in the embrace of a strong tradition of salt-making. The rich salt fields of the Sečovlje saltpans are the true pasture for the eyes and the soul.

The center of Sečovlje is next to the church of St. Martina, which was built in 1822. The houses are also located along the path to the hill Krog (132 m), where the Benedictine monastery was until 1947 and the church of St. Onofrija from 1432. An interesting walk will offer you a wonderful view of the entire valley of the Sečovlje from the top of the hill. In 1937 – 1970, there was also a coal mine.

Surrender yourself to the pleasures of the sea air and activities right next to the Adriatic Sea, which is an excellent starting point for cyclists, sailors and to all who wants an active vacation. Loving the first spring sun rays, summer refreshments, autumn sports activities or winter romantic walk will give you an unforgettable experience along the path of old salt-pans (Poreč in Trieste). Get acquainted with antique salt extraction techniques and enjoy a number of salt-based treatments in marine mud in the unique Thalasso SPA Lepa Vida Wellness Center at the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park.
