More Well-Maintained Beaches Along Slovenia's Coast This Year

Slovenia's coastal municipalities have collectively invested approximately seven million euros in upgrading their bathing areas this year, enhancing the experience for the 10,000 to 15,000 daily visitors. These significant investments aim to make swimming more pleasant, comfortable, and secure for tourists and locals alike.

The most substantial renovations have taken place in Žusterna, Portorož, and Fiesa. The Žusterna bathing area, in particular, has seen the largest financial commitment, with 3.7 million euros dedicated to its overhaul. This includes substantial work around the 50-meter freshwater pool, which is the oldest large pool in Slovenian Istria, originally built in 1963.

While a portion of the Žusterna improvements, focusing on the area surrounding the freshwater pool, was completed last year with a one-million-euro investment, work is expected to continue until the end of the month. The article suggests that consistent annual investment at this level could lead to significantly improved bathing facilities across the region within a few years, emphasizing that 'well-maintained' does not necessarily mean 'over-concreted'.
