Starinar

Great experience. Very nice gentleman, full of stories...

Starinar Sašo Mehora je dragocena popestritev piranske turistične ponudbe, saj poleg slikovitih razgledov in stavbne dediščine ponuja tudi nekaj duše preteklosti. Posebna privlačnost so samoigrajoče" harmonike

The owner is a nice old man in his 80s, says he usually comes in and opens the shop 8-11 and 13-16 (not sure about workdays but I was there on a Monday), works on restoration projects if no customers are there.Speaks Italian, German, Serbian, Slovenian, and apparently Czech. (I didn't ask about English.)The specialty of the shop are self-playing accordians he wires himself, which he is more than happy to demonstrate.There's loads of random knicknacks as well, a lot of Austro-Hungarian era trinkets, lots of musical instruments, the odd jewelry.A nice little corner to retreat from the hot sun and have a little chat with an interesting person.
