Slovenia is the Region of Gastronomy 2021, which is why cuisine, sustainable development of gastronomy and promotion of gastronomic tourism are in the forefront this year. In Koper, a number of gastronomy activities are combined under the brand name Altroke Istra.
In addition to the Altroke Istra Gourmet Festival, you can visit The Tastes of Koper open-air gallery on Kidrič Street in Koper and taste a different altroke dessert each month from Istrian providers of sweet delicacies as part of the Altroke Istra by Sladka Istra promotional campaign.
