slovenia
Slovenia is one of Europe’s greenest countries, and it’s easy to explore in a week. Lake Bled, with its island church and clifftop castle, is the postcard view, and Lake Bohinj is quieter and just as lovely.
The Soča Valley has emerald rivers and outdoor adventures, Ljubljana is small and charming, and the Karst region has caves, wine and a short stretch of Adriatic coast at Piran.
It combines beautifully with Croatia, Austria or northern Italy.
