There are many Indians, few Chiefs β true Legends are rare.
And one drives the world β wherever you wish. π
Savudrija sits at the northernmost tip of Istria β a small cape with a lighthouse, a cluster of upscale hotels, and the kind of quiet that is rare on a coast this close to the main tourist routes. The hotels here β Sol Garden Istra, Melia Coral, and others β have their own spa and wellness facilities, making the cape a genuine wellness destination rather than just a beach resort.
Umag is five kilometres down the coast: a proper Istrian town with a medieval centre, a marina, and a longer stretch of hotels and restaurants. The two work well together β spa calm at Savudrija, town life at Umag.
From Ljubljana Airport: south through Ljubljana, then west across Slovenia to Koper, border crossing into Croatia, and south along the Istrian coast road. About two hours, with the last section through the distinctive karst and vineyard landscape of northern Istria.
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.

We've been driving people around Slovenia for over 15 years. What started as a simple airport taxi has grown into a transfer service trusted by tourists, business travelers, and returning visitors.

We always tell you the truth β even if our service isn't the best option for you. Travelling solo to Ljubljana city centre? The bus for β¬4 is perfectly fine. Got three people with luggage headed to a spa resort? That's where we shine.
