      <description>We are introducing Slovenia’s most attractive tourist offers for visitors from abroad.
In general, foreign visitors are mostly drawn to the most famous places, like the Lake Bled resort, Ljubljana castle, Postojna cave, the coastal town of Piran etc.

But the project Slovenia’s hidden gems aims to remind our audiences of the many other excellent locations and experiences that are also a must, in order to get a deeper feel of the country’s rich traditions, including cuisine, culture and other unique and innovative (but secret) tourist attractions.

Please give us your proposals for any unique location, service or tourist offer, that you would definitely share with foreign visitors to Slovenia.

The best rated suggestions and ideas will then be tested by foreigners living, working or studying in Slovenia  (members of our Radio Si International Club). They will then share their experiences with our audience in a show and on our Radio Si website www.sloveniashiddengems.si, introducing the excellent providers, too.

At the end of the season, it will be time for all of you to vote among the 20 excellent finalists and pick three winners, who will receive the »Slovenia’s hidden gem 2018« award.

On-Air: every other WED at 11:20; SAT, 00:20, SUN, 14:20

The show is prepared by Ksenija Samardžija Matul and Lidija Petković; sound engineer: Peter Kopše Pišec. </description>

        <description>''Undiscovered Stories of the Valley of Mills: Educational Trail of Dwarf Biser'' is a 2-day tourist offer that was tested by two friends from Russia, MARINA KHOLINA and LIUBA TVELENEVA. The young scouts were sent off to the beautiful ŠALEŠKA VALLEY near Velenje, where they had a lot of fun by tasting the valley’s rich cultural and natural heritage. Over there, they learned about the region's history and local legends, witnessed a rich collection of antiques, spent time with some wild animals at a beautiful local homestead, enjoyed their so-called Valley of Peace, were blown away by a real beach near Velenje and visited a house that has been turned into an eco museum.  The offer was prepared by the Šaleška Tourist board.</description>

        <description>Our second show of the new season was recorded in the town of LITIJA and its outskirts. We sent a lovely Bosnian-Serbian-Slovenian couple VANJA &amp; OLIVER there to test a 1-day offer prepared by TIC Litija - Experience in the Heart of Slovenia.  

Tune in to hear more from them, as well as, from the providers (Pr' Škundr Farm, ECO farm Vovše, Geoss Adventure park, Sitarjevec mine). In order to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse themselves in the magical world of the countryside, they ended up tasting an authentic Slovenian experience, by exploring the areas just outside Ljubljana, rich in history, beautiful nature, and friendly people.</description>

        <description>We are introducing Slovenia’s most attractive tourist offers for visitors from abroad.
In general, foreign visitors are mostly drawn to the most famous places, like the Lake Bled resort, Ljubljana castle, Postojna cave, the coastal town of Piran etc.

But the project Slovenia’s hidden gems aims to remind our audiences of the many other excellent locations and experiences that are also a must, in order to get a deeper feel of the country’s rich traditions, including cuisine, culture and other unique and innovative (but secret) tourist attractions.

Please give us your proposals for any unique location, service or tourist offer, that you would definitely share with foreign visitors to Slovenia.

The best rated suggestions and ideas will then be tested by foreigners living, working or studying in Slovenia  (members of our Radio Si International Club). They will then share their experiences with our audience in a show and on our Radio Si website www.sloveniashiddengems.si, introducing the excellent providers, too.

At the end of the season, it will be time for all of you to vote among the 20 excellent finalists and pick three winners, who will receive the »Slovenia’s hidden gem 2018« award.

On-Air: every other WED at 11:20; SAT, 00:20, SUN, 14:20

The show is prepared by Ksenija Samardžija Matul and Lidija Petković; sound engineer: Peter Kopše Pišec. </description>

        <description>We are introducing Slovenia’s most attractive tourist offers for visitors from abroad.
In general, foreign visitors are mostly drawn to the most famous places, like the Lake Bled resort, Ljubljana castle, Postojna cave, the coastal town of Piran etc.

But the project Slovenia’s hidden gems aims to remind our audiences of the many other excellent locations and experiences that are also a must, in order to get a deeper feel of the country’s rich traditions, including cuisine, culture and other unique and innovative (but secret) tourist attractions.

Please give us your proposals for any unique location, service or tourist offer, that you would definitely share with foreign visitors to Slovenia.

The best rated suggestions and ideas will then be tested by foreigners living, working or studying in Slovenia  (members of our Radio Si International Club). They will then share their experiences with our audience in a show and on our Radio Si website www.sloveniashiddengems.si, introducing the excellent providers, too.

At the end of the season, it will be time for all of you to vote among the 20 excellent finalists and pick three winners, who will receive the »Slovenia’s hidden gem 2018« award.

On-Air: every other WED at 11:20; SAT, 00:20, SUN, 14:20

The show is prepared by Ksenija Samardžija Matul and Lidija Petković; sound engineer: Peter Kopše Pišec. </description>

        <description>''We felt relaxed as we walked among the horses and felt safe as we participated in our very own Western movie with a Slovenian horse whisperer by our side.'' ...''So, in the end, we had to rush towards the farm where we’d spend the night. On our way over, the ex-pat was practicing a sincere Slovene apology: 'Oprostite ker sva pozna. Imela sva sedem hodov.' This is the best that a Belgian can utter'' 

...these are the words from our Belgian-Slovenian couple, KEVIN DUCHEYNE &amp; MANKICA KRANJEC, who tested a 2-day tourist offer ''DISCOVER BREŽICE ON HORSE AND BIKE''. However, horse-back riding and cycling wasn't the only experience they had while exploring this part of Slovenia, close to the border with Croatia, which they almost crossed.

        <description>Our latest tourist package is ''The Brown Bear Kingdom'' in Loška Valley in southern Slovenia.

Testing the 1-day offer were Peter Davey from the UK and his Slovenian partner Milan Šelj. Even though they live in the Karst region closer to the coast, they have never explored the “Green Karst” before. Have they encountered a bear at the end of the day?

Coordinating the introduced package was Romana Nared from the Lož Tourist Information Centre.

Testing the 1-day offer were Peter Davey from the UK and his Slovenian partner Milan Šelj. Even though they live in the Karst region closer to the coast, they have never explored the “Green Karst” before. Have they encountered a bear at the end of the day?

Tune in on Wednesday, Jun 20, at 11:20 to find out more about their unforgetable experience.

Coordinating the introduced package was Romana Nared from the Lož Tourist Information Centre.

This show was prepared and recorded by Lidija Petković, and edited by Peter Kopše Pišec.

      <itunes:subtitle>We are introducing Slovenia’s most attractive tourist offers for visitors from abroad.
In general, foreign visitors are mostly drawn to the most famous places, like the Lake Bled resort, Ljubljana castle, Postojna cave, the coastal town of Piran etc.

But the project Slovenia’s hidden gems aims to remind our audiences of the many other excellent locations and experiences that are also a must, in order to get a deeper feel of the country’s rich traditions, including cuisine, culture and other unique and innovative (but secret) tourist attractions.

Please give us your proposals for any unique location, service or tourist offer, that you would definitely share with foreign visitors to Slovenia.

The best rated suggestions and ideas will then be tested by foreigners living, working or studying in Slovenia  (members of our Radio Si International Club). They will then share their experiences with our audience in a show and on our Radio Si website www.sloveniashiddengems.si, introducing the excellent providers, too.

At the end of the season, it will be time for all of you to vote among the 20 excellent finalists and pick three winners, who will receive the »Slovenia’s hidden gem 2018« award.

On-Air: every other WED at 11:20; SAT, 00:20, SUN, 14:20

The show is prepared by Ksenija Samardžija Matul and Lidija Petković; sound engineer: Peter Kopše Pišec. </itunes:subtitle>
