Description
Embark on a captivating journey through time as you explore the enchanting town of Koper, nestled on the northern coast of the Istrian peninsula. Unveil the layers of its rich Venetian Renaissance tradition, where history comes alive through beautifully preserved squares and architectural marvels. Once an isolated island surrounded by the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea, Koper has metamorphosed into a picturesque coastal gem, each cobblestone narrating tales of its evolution. Stroll through hidden squares, feel the vibrant pulse of the maritime city sustained by its thriving port, and immerse yourself in the cultural heritage that defines Koper's identity. As you wander through the labyrinthine streets, the tour transports you back to the Roman era, with the former walled town boasting architecture heavily influenced by the Venetian Republic. Enter through the historic Muda Gate, meander along Cobbler Street to Prešeren Square and the mesmerizing De Ponte Fountain, and wind your way down Kidričeva ulica towards the marina and Carpaccio Square. The guided journey brings history to life, showcasing significant sites like the Cathedral of St. Mary of Assumption, Tito Square, and the bustling promenade. Reaching its peak in Carpaccio Square, where the great Venetian master spent his final days, the tour promises an engaging and enjoyable experience, inviting you to savor local products and wine along the way. Indulge in a delicious tasting of authentic Istrian delights, from exquisite liqueurs and olive oils to the finest wines, salt, air-dried ham, and artisanal cheeses. Koper Old Town is not merely a destination; it's a narrative spun into the fabric of time. Traverse the centuries with each step, from the island's solitude to its bustling present, and let the heart and soul of Koper captivate you in this immersive exploration of cultural heritage, maritime splendor, and gastronomic treasures.Includes
