There are many Indians, few Chiefs β true Legends are rare.
And one drives the world β wherever you wish. π
Ptuj is the oldest city in Slovenia β a fact the Romans would confirm if they were still around. The medieval old town sits on a hill above the Drava river, with a castle that has watched over the valley for centuries. The thermal spa complex is modern and well-equipped, but the real draw is having all of that history right outside the door.
Staying in Ptuj means you can walk the old town in the evening, visit the castle in the morning, and be in the thermal pool by noon. For travellers who want more than just a spa holiday, this combination is hard to beat.
From Ljubljana Airport, the drive east on the A1 motorway takes about 1 hour 45 minutes β through the Stajerska heartland past Celje and Maribor. The last stretch to Ptuj winds down from the motorway through vineyard country.
Price is fixed and agreed before you travel. We pick you up at the terminal β no taxi rank queuing, no meter. Book the day before at the latest.
