Car rental in Slovenia
It is not so easy for a Russian to imagine a state whose area is not even equal to the entire Moscow region, but only to its half. Just decorate it with chains of the Alps, add the clear Adriatic Sea and no less transparent lakes, equip thermal baths and leave the same dense forests. Here is a portrait of Slovenia. Practical Germans, expansive Italians, and other peoples of Europe have already chosen their places in the spa centers of this country, in local resorts. And they spend much less money on this pleasure than in their homeland..
However, Slovenia enjoys great success in the Russian tourist market as well. The reasons for such a great popularity are obvious: Slovenian thermal spas at any time of the year have everything that is necessary to fight a variety of diseases: mineral waters, large medical centers equipped with modern equipment, which employs competent doctors. Slovenia is famous for its expertise in the treatment of a wide range of diseases. Here you can often find Russian-speaking staff, and this ensures the convenience of the treatment process.
