Portoroz is lovely and has lots of good restaurants and a wonderful walkway. We did day trips to the caves in Postojna and the horses at Lipica.
Portoroz is more modern town, but not without charm. You can merrily walk along the seafront and take a drink or two or three in one of the many lovely bars. When we were there we found the woman’s Wimbledon tennis final on at the tennis club at the far end of the town, which made for a very entertaining afternoon. All the locals we met were extremely nice and friendly and mostly speak great English – the same goes for the tour guides and hotel staff.
