Hotels in Karst Plateau, Slovenia

The Karst Plateau spans southwestern Slovenia and northeastern Italy, with a Mediterranean climate of mild, wet winters (around 40°F/4°C) and hot, dry summers (up to 85°F/29°C). It's world-famous for its limestone caves-like Postojna Cave, where you can ride a train through massive chambers, and Škocjan Caves, a UNESCO site with a underground river. In summer, hike the plateau's trails for sweeping views of the Adriatic Sea, while winter's cooler weather is perfect for exploring the caves without crowds and tasting the region's crisp Teran wine at local vineyards.
