Weather was perfect for exploring in late spring, not too hot or crowded. I loved wandering the harbor at sunset, really peaceful vibe away from big tourist spots.
Expect steep streets and cobblestones, so comfy shoes are a must. Food quality varies, some restaurants totally worth it, others just average and expensive.
For a true local experience, try Konoba Skocjan for dinner, it's away from the main square and way cheaper with delicious portions.
The old town is beautiful but gets packed midday. We enjoyed exploring early mornings and late afternoons to avoid crowds. It's charming but not a hidden gem anymore.
Nice place but quite small. A day trip is enough unless you really want to chill by the sea. Lots of tourists in summer, felt a bit commercialized for my taste.
