Ankaran is the greenest and most peaceful corner of the Slovenian coast, located on the peninsula of the same name right on the border with Italy. Unlike neighboring port and tourist centers, Ankaran attracts visitors primarily with its natural beauty and rich Mediterranean vegetation. Dense pine forests and olive groves stretch all the way down to the sea here, creating ideal conditions for a peaceful getaway.
For tourists, Ankaran is first and foremost a hub for camping, outdoor activities, and family tourism. Ankaran’s main attraction is the Debeli Rtič Landscape Park, with its unique cliffs, healing climate, and wild beaches. At the same time, the area boasts a well-developed modern infrastructure: well-maintained pebble and sandy beaches, sports fields, bike paths, and the well-known Adria Ankaran resort, located on the site of a former Benedictine monastery.
The range of accommodations in Ankaran will delight every visitor—from modern hotels and spa complexes to cozy countryside apartments and well-maintained RV parks. This guide contains all the practical information you need for your visit: from the locations of beaches and parking lots to recommendations for restaurants, local wineries, and the main nature trails.
