Ankaran
Ankaran is a small seaside town at the southern end of the Muggia peninsula, on the north side of Koper Bay. It has been a separate municipality since 2011. Slovenian and Italian are both official languages, and the Italian border is only about 2.5 km away.
The town suits a quiet beach holiday. Pine-shaded bathing areas, olive groves and vineyards line the shore, and the western cape is a protected landscape park with cliffs and walking trails. Koper is about 10 minutes away by car. Strunjan, Portorož and Piran are all within about 30 minutes, so Ankaran also works as a calm base for the whole coast.

Obiective turistice de top
- Debeli Rtič is the western tip of the peninsula, protected as a landscape park since 2018. Cliffs 12 to 21 m high drop into a shallow sea that is rich in marine life. The clifftop is a popular place to watch the sunset, and three recreational trails of 4, 5 and 6 km run through the park.
- Debeli Rtič Beach is one of the largest beaches on the peninsula, below the cape. The beach of the Red Cross youth and health resort next to it is open to all visitors. The resort grounds also hold a Mediterranean park of about 7 hectares with more than 4,000 plants from all continents.
- Valdoltra beach has stone platforms for sunbathing and a small lawn. It is popular with both locals and visitors.
- The Mediterranean salt meadow at St Nicholas is the only meadow of its kind in Slovenia. Salt-tolerant plants grow here on the edge of the bay, and the site is protected as part of Natura 2000.
- The former Benedictine Monastery of St Nicholas dates from the 11th century. It is now a four-star hotel in the Adria resort, next to a pine-shaded beach.
- St Bartholomew Bay lies a few tens of metres from the Italian border. It has a natural grass beach, and the water is never deeper than 3 m.
