Croatia Airline flies to many cities within Croatia and from other European countries. The earlier you get your tickets, the cheaper the tickets will be.
Since it was expensive to get there on Croatia Airline from London, I decided to get a ticket to Trieste, Italy and get to Croatia from there. I got my tickets during the FREE seats period of Ryanair to Trieste, and paid GBP28 for return from London Stansted.
Ryanair did not disappoint me for this trip. In fact, it arrived earlier than scheduled. The only thing is that I have to wait for quite some time for my checked-in baggage at London Stansted. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

It is easy to drive from Italy to Croatia with a map. The roads are well sign-posted too.
The only thing to note is that you will have to pass by Slovenia. Do check for your visa requirements for Slovenia too if you are going to drive from Trieste to Croatia.
The border crossing was easy and fast. Although there are only a couple of counters at the immigration, it is fast as there's not many cars. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

It is not difficult to drive around Croatia and along the coast. The only thing is that the roads are curvy along the coast and the mountain roads. Do drive carefully. People who tend to get car sick just be prepared.
Another thing is that many local do not use their signals when they wanna make a turn. I have met a of times that the driver stop quite suddenly and turn without signalling. So do becareful and keep a distance.
Lastly, the many curvy roads make driving quite tiring too. Apart from the curvy roads, there are lots of up and downs too. Sometimes I get stuck behind slow lorries and coaches for many km before I can overtake them safely. Do take these into account when calculating your driving time.

 Map from HAC website by diocletianvs
But in the last decade an ambitious program started and now modern motorways stretch from the Hungarian (Gorican) and Slovenian borders (Macelj, Bregana) to Zagreb and further in direction of Rijeka and Split.
On all motorways and some bridges (Krk bridge) and tunnels (Ucka tunnel) you have to pay the toll.
For updated price lists check the following websites:
www.hac.hr is the website of Croatian Highways - company that operates Zagreb - Lipovac, Zagreb - Macelj, Zagreb - Gorican, Zagreb - Bregana, Zagreb - Split highways and Krk bridge.
On their website you can find toll prices, maps and current traffic info:
http://www.hac.hr
www.arz.hr is the website of a separate company that operates Zagreb - Rijeka highway.
ARZ toll prices: http://www.arz.hr
Toll can be paid in kunas and in major foreign currencies, as well as with major credit cards (American, Diners, MasterCard, Maestro, Visa).
The Adriatic Tourist Road (Jadranska magistrala), built in the 1960s changed the life in all places along the Adriatic and served a long time as the major backbone for the tourist traffic along the coast. Today this narrow, 2-lane road gets jammed during the summer months but still offers the magnificent views as it goes along the coast following its outline - a nightmare for drivers but one of the best viewpoints if you take the bus for instance.
