Thursday Doors 2/2/23: Last of Piran doors

Last for now, that is, just for now. Make no mistake, I plan to return there this summer or even for Easter.

But until I do, here is the last reminder from this summer what a beauty Piran is and how many spectacular doors and views it offers.

We start with the mysterious hole in the hill which has changed considerably since 2015, when the first photo in the gallery was taken. The second photo shows how it is now. I should have checked if it was locked and where it was leading.

Then we continue with doors and arches, a restaurant and a special door guardian, all taken last July, and end with three night-time August shots. The very last photo is of the fancy Palace Hotel in Piran’s neighbour Portorož, the Port of Roses, which I rarely mention for several reasons. If you are a bit posh, you might prefer to stay there to Piran. Not me.

Hole in the hill in 2015. Wrong way?

The same hole in 2022. Yes, the sea is just opposite.

Another celestial one. Or merely grey?

No, because this is grey.

A door and a palm.

Arches and doors, this is how you spell Piran.

A do-it-yourself arch.

Holiday home of the Blind Association. They can feel this lovely light though.

A special door guardian.

I had to zoom in.

This restaurant, Gostilna Mario, has nice door neighbours.

A wider view. I might have eaten here once a long time ago.

Oars, in case you need to paddle home.

A ghost door is always welcome.

Let me add some postcards because Piran is pretty as a picture.

The view across the Gulf of Piran towards Croatia.

The last arch before the Tartini Square.

The concert and cinema venue on church grounds. Waiting for some jazz by Wckd Nation, one of my last two concerts.

The view of the Tartini Square from the church.

And this is half an hour away on foot. Portorož, a whole other world.
