Background
It is better known for a battle which took place in 1917 during the first World War when the town was known as Caporetta. This was when the Italian army was defeated by the combined forces of the Central Powers. There is an excellent museum in the town that is well worth a visit if you are in the area. It houses a permanent exhibition about World War 1 as well as various travelling exhibitions. Kobarid is also on the route of the Walk of Peace and is a good starting point for visiting some of the First World War outdoor museums - read more about the museums and what you can see
Ernest Hemingway wrote about Kobarid in his book "A Farewell to Arms" and described it as "a little white town with a campanile in a valley" and not much has changed since. It is a great place to experience some of the many activities on offer or to just kick back and relax.
Slovenia is proud of it's cuisine and Kobarid has a few excellent restaurants for you to sample - the Topli Val in the Hotel Hvala and the His Franka are both superb and the also has an excellent reputation.

Pre Departure
When you book your holiday with Zenith Holidays, you can be confident that we will be there to help make the whole experience as smooth as easy as possible.
During the week before you leave, we will call you to make sure you have all you need or to provide any help or assistance in some last minute touches - but, before then, do make sure your passport is valid (not required for Jersey) and peruse our upgrade possibilities - you can book up to 2 weeks before you travel but do be aware that some things will sell out - airport parking and the Meet & Greet service often do on peak holiday dates and the "Fetch-my-luggage" service is bound to be popular on busy weeks so do book that early.
If you need an airport hotel or even some "tried & tested" car games for the kids for the drive down, let us know or book them online - once you have booked your holiday, all these extras can be added in your own secure booking area.
