“While much of Southern Europe can come with tons of tourists and a too high price tag, you can have a five-star trip on a three-star budget in Slovenia,” says Collette Stohler, who runs the travel website, Roamaroo. “You can have the elegance and gourmet delicacies of the Mediterranean at an Eastern European price. The best part is — you can visit the capital of Ljubljana, the beautiful lake town of Bled, Piran Beach on the Adriatic, and the Goriska Brda wine region all within two hours of each other.”
