Plavje ( _it. Plavia Montedoro) is a village in south-western Slovenia in the municipality of Koper [Falling rain gazetteer] . It is located on the northernmost edge of the Istrian peninsula, on the border with Italy, on a small hill overlooking the Gulf of Trieste. In 1991, it had a population of 434. [ [http://www.koper.si/povezave/podezelje/skofije/plavje/plavje.htm Podezelje Istre - Ankaran ] ]

During most of its history, Plavje was part of the municipality of Muggia. In 1954, after the dissolution of the Free Territory of Trieste and the revision of the Morgan Line, it was incorporated into the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, thus cutting off its secular connections with the settlements of Muggia, Dolina and Trieste, which were left in Italy. Since then, it has been gravitating towards Koper.

Plavje enjoys a mild climate, safe for the strong Bora wind which frequently blows in the winter. It is an important center of olive oil production. It also produces some quality wines, especially refosco and malvasia.

It is famous for having been the village in which the first cell of the Liberation Front of the Slovenian People in Slovenian Istria was organized in December 1941.
