Conclusion: an adventure and relaxation in one<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Summer season is the perfect time for taking a break and travelling to a coastal town to unwind and relax. We always advise our students who are doing their Erasmus Internships<\/a> during the summer months, to travel to the beach and coastal towns to relax and unwind a little from their work. As Maribor has good Flixbus connections to Croatian coastal cities, Pula should be next on your list of travels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
