Willettsworld Says: This small church was built in the late 17th century in a small square opposite the fruit and veg market. The church has a 16th century painting of Mother of God, St Francis and St Dominique behind the altar but has been closed for a long time.
Willettsworld Says: This church was constructed in the late 19th century on the location of a Minorite monastery that was probably around in the 6th century. It later gave way to a Benedictine hospice that was built in the 12th century, followed by a nunnery of St Catherine and in 1473 by a...
Willettsworld Says: This attractive square in the eastern part of the old town features a monument dedicated to the soldiers killed in various wars. It was erected in 1946.
Willettsworld Says: There is a small bathing area and beach along the northern coast of the Old Town which was busy when I visited with people stretched out on the grassy slope that leads up to the parish church.
Willettsworld Says: The parish church of Izola was built on top of a hill in 1547 and consecrated in 1553. It is built on the same location as a previous church that dated from 1356. Its façade is typically Romanesque whilst the lavish interior (restored in the early 1980’s) is Baroque and...
Willettsworld Says: The separate bell tower (campanile in Italian) was built in 1585 and renovated in 1889. It features 4 Italian bells and it is not possible to climb up to the top which is a shame as the views would be quite wonderful.
Willettsworld Says: This is Izola’s most beautiful building. It was built in late-Baroque/Rococo style between 1775 and 1781 by the builder F. Dongetti. The mansion has beautiful windows and balconies that are adorned with stuccos and wrought-iron grills painted light blue. It’s said to be the...
Willettsworld Says: This house is a typical Venetian style house that was built in 1470. It was once the residence of a chronicler of Istria in the 16th century.
Willettsworld Says: The former municipal palace (or town hall) was built in 1325 in Gothic and Romanesque styles. The façade was renovated in Baroque style in the 17th century.
Willettsworld Says: Veliki trg is the central square in the Old Town and lies right by the small marina. Here you can also find the Hotel Marina and the former municipal palace.
Willettsworld Says: This church, (and I think I have the name right), stands behind the former municipal palace and has an entrance opposite the Manzoli house in the small square. I don’t have any details of when it was built or anything!

Willettsworld Says: This restaurant (said to be over 130 years old) is situated near the little marina by Veliki trg in the Old Town. I came here for lunch and had a nice omlette and drink but their main dishes are fish such as sole, bass, turbot, dory, squid, scampi, mussels etc as well as...
oja Says: This restaurant has a great reputation and is recommended by people all over the country. Fish, seafood, and especially Istrian specialties like homemade gnocchi - the only menu item I can actually translate. All the rest are indigenuous and thus untranslatable!

Willettsworld Says: The bus stop in Izola is at Trg Republike in front of the post office. Frequent buses run to and from Koper and Piran.
isolina_it Says: Izola, with its touristic port, is ideal to stay and go around with your own boat to the thousands little isles of Adriatic sea.Here the main distances: 15km from Trieste, 115km from Lubiana, 110km from Venezia, 190km from Klagenfur, 300km from Graz, 540km from Vienna, 550km...

There is a small clothes market just north of Trg Republike on the waterfront promenade just before you get to the waterfront.

The hilly hinterland of Izola is practically swarming with small gems of Istrian villages which have a lot to offer to accidental wanderers. None of them has more than 300 inhabitants, but each has something unique to give. Taste their wine, grapes and other fruit, enjoy the majestic view over the sea, and get lost in micro labyrinths of those narrow streets. Visit the Webpage which lists them (unfortunately only in Slovenian).

Willettsworld Says: The Tourist Information Office can be found near Trg Republike on the waterfront promenade called Sonèno nabrežje. Here you can get a map of Izola but it isn’t all that detailed plus I didn’t see much information on the history of any of the attractions. Sonèno nabrežje 4...
tetekung Says: It is expensive to stay in Venice. By using this ship, you can go early in the morning and return at 5:00. It thakes 2 hours and 30 minutes.
