In the town of Izola an effort has been made to encourage a dynamic development of cultural and artistic activities to protect and promote the cultural heritage, which has been considered important in the history, the traditions and the identity of the area.

Izola is mainly based on fishing and wine production, which still represents an important source of revenue for the region, although these days, thanks to its coastal position and rich natural heritage, tourism is stimulating much opportunity and development.

Although the island city has a rich and enchanting culinary tradition, in line with its hospitality, it is fast becoming a centre of sporting and leisure activities.

Izola is a perfect destination in springtime through to autumn for those who wish to enjoy the warmth of the Mediterranean climate, and the nearness of the sea, and the water sports.

The city comes to life in summer, offering many cultural events and entertainment. Visitors can try the Istria studios, art galleries and museums, and listen to the mysterious legends that add to the magic of this attractive city.
