Your bike tour starts at the passenger terminal. From there, you'll pass by the famous cultural center, Taverna, which was once a salt warehouse. As you cycle toward the largest brackish wetland in Slovenia - Skocjanski Zatok Nature Reserve - you'll be treated to the sight of some colorful flora and notable wildlife. One of the most impressive attractions on this tour is the Rex shipwreck. En route to Izola, you'll get to see the remains of this vessel that was sunk during World War II; it was the biggest Italian passenger ship at the time.

Upon your arrival at Izola, you'll enjoy more attractions, like the historic Parenzana Trail, which was once home to a railway that connected 33 different towns. By the end of this biking expedition, you're bound to be hungry. Don't worry: there is a final stop at a traditional Istrian village for some refreshments, including some delicious wine.
