Slovene Istria (Slovene: slovenska Istra; Italian: Istria slovena) is a region in southwest Slovenia. It comprises the northern part of the Istrian peninsula, and is part of the wider geographical-historical region known as the Slovene Littoral. Its largest urban center is Koper. Other large settlements are Izola, Piran, and Portorož. The entire region has around 120 settlements. In its coastal area, both Slovene and Italian are official languages.
The Slovene Riviera (Slovene: Slovenska obala) is located in Slovene Istria; both terms are sometimes used interchangeably, especially in the media,[citation needed] although Slovene Istria includes a wider geographical area.
