Slovenia's islands: Few but impressive

Bled/Bloke/Kranj/Kostanjevica na Krki/Otočec/Beltinci, 28 December - Many Slovenians seem to be fond of the Croatian coast with its many islands. The reason for this could lie in the fact that unlike its neighbour, Slovenia only has a few natural islands. Nonetheless, the tiny Bled Island is gaining global fame, while many more are just as picturesque and have quite interesting stories to tell as well.
