Strunjan

Strunjan (pronounced [stɾuˈnjaːn] ⓘ; Italian: Strugnano) is a settlement in the Municipality of Piran in the Littoral region of Slovenia.

[2] The Strunjan Nature Reserve, located along a 4 km stretch of Adriatic coast to the north of the settlement, is the longest section of unspoiled coastline in the entire Gulf of Trieste.

[citation needed] Since 2001, Strunjan has held an annual persimmon festival (Slovene: Praznik kakijev) every November.

Together with the Vipava Valley and the Gorizia Hills, Strunjan has a favorable microclimate for persimmon cultivation, producing 30% of Slovenia's annual persimmon crop on about 20 hectares.
