Find your Slovenia.
Six questions, eleven places between the coast and the Karst. The Sestante neither guesses nor sells: it ranks the places using the data we have measured and tells you why.

All 11 places
OSRM driving times without traffic, measured on 5 October 2026 · EU-DEM elevations · GURS ETN sales since 1 January 2021.
How we calculate
For each answer the Sestante compares the eleven places on a scale from 0 to 1 and measures how close each one is to what you chose. Measured data only:
- driving time from your city, OSRM without traffic (real summer times on the coast can be much longer);
- the elevation of the ground around the centre, EU-DEM: it is the axis between sea and plateau, ranked because the coast and the Karst have no elevations in between;
- how many houses sold in the municipality in your price band, from the public GURS register: what counts is where that market exists, not where you spend least;
- the rise of the ground around the centre, on the coast only: it measures the terrain, not your future window;
- the character of the place (seaside town, riviera, Karst): our own classification, stated as such;
- minutes from the hospital with an emergency department in Izola, from the marinas, from the Italian-language schools, from the airports of Trieste and Ljubljana, from Trieste.
The score is the weighted average of those closeness values, from 0 to 100: sea or plateau weighs double, budget one and a half, everything else once. Same answers, same ranking: no chance, no commercial preference.
The Sestante does not know houses: it knows places. The hills of Koper are not among the eleven places because their data sits on the hill pages.
