Ankaran

Ankaran has served as a coastal settlement on Slovenia’s Adriatic shore since Roman times. Set on the Bay of Koper, it occupies part of the country’s short coastline between the Italian border and the port city of Koper. The town is associated with the former Benedictine monastery of St Nicholas, whose buildings now form the Hotel Convent complex. Nearby, the Debeli Rtič headland is protected for its coastal habitats, while vineyards and olive groves underline the area’s Mediterranean character. Ankaran belongs to Slovenian Istria, a region shaped by Adriatic trade and the meeting of Slovene and Italian cultural influences.
