It is one of the three major towns of Slovenian Istria. The town has much medieval architecture, with narrow streets and compact houses.

Until the mid-20th century, Italian was the dominant language, but was replaced by Slovene as demographics shifted.

This place is so much more than just some regular souvenir shop. In Nika’s atelier you can see whole process how all these tiny beautiful houses and other souvenirs are made. Nika is very friendly, and we had very nice chat with her. You can spend a lot of time here, since every piece is unique and very precise piece of hand made artwork made of driftwood. You just gotta se them all and you will want to buy them all too! :) If you fell in love with Piran, and want to bring a piece of it back home with you, visiting Nika’s atelier is a must!
