We got there from the Rijeka...

by Dudytka

We got there from the Rijeka harbour by ferry. The trip takes around 2hrs. I don´t know the ferry schedule, but it goes often. There is one thing we were surprised by: when we were lined up, some young guys came and washed our windows even though we protested. You must be very big and strong to keep them from washing it. Roads on Cres are not very nice. They are narrow and you can´t see anything behind bends (maybe that´s why natives drive their cars like maniacs) so be careful, sometimes it´s really tough... Also the maps you buy do not always tell the truth and I´m not even talking about road signs... You must have a sense of locality and a big piece of luck to get where you want to. The url below is a oficial croatian page where you can find a lot of important info about visas, travelling, currency, culture, law and politics, etc. Go and check it out!

GAS PRICES ARE AT PAR WITH THE WEST

by slawekjb

IF YOU CAN - HITCH A RIDE. PUBLIC TRANSPORT IS SAID TO BE RESONABLY PRICED. GOING BY CAR IS MOST CONVENIENT BUT ALSO THE MOST EXPENSIVE OPTION. CHECK YOUR INSURANCE - IT MAY NOT COVER YOU IN CROATIA AND THEY WILL HAVE YOU PAY 42 EUROS FOR TWO WEEKS...IF GOING BY CAR -WATCH OUT FOR TRAFFIC COPS -THEY USE RADAR A LOT.

To get the Croatia

by diamond7

A easy way to get the Croatia is going to Italy, to Ancona and get a ship to Zadar, Split, or Dubrovnik.By the way, if you are in Trieste (Italy), you are only 2h30min by Bus, from Umag, the northern town of Croatia !

Zagreb's rustic trams

by acemj

There is a great, romantic tram in Zagreb that, other than walking, is the best way to explore the city. The routes can be a bit confusing, so you're best bet is to ask a local what number you need for your particular location or just ask the driver. Tickets can be purchased from tobacco or magazine stands throughout the city for 6.50 kuna or for 8 from the driver onboard.

Jadrolinija (Ferry service)

by acemj

The best time to visit Croatia in my opinion, would be in May when most of the ferry lines are still running and the tourist hordes have not quite made their full invasion. Unfortunately for me, I was here in February and the ferry service was very limited, which made it difficult to visit the islands without having much more flexibility in my schedule. You can get to Croatia from Italy very easily by using the Jadrolinija Ferry or one of many Italian ferry services (SMC, Adriatica, Agestea and others).From within Croatia, you can take a ferry to almost all of the islands on very frequent schedules in the peak season. Keep in mind, however, that if you're traveling outside of the peak season, you'll be much more limited (i.e. there may only be one or two ferries a week to a particular island).

Taxis

by acemj

Taxis are pretty expensive in Croatia and if you're visiting the coastal towns, you really won't need one. Most of the towns are small enough to explore on foot. In Zagreb, the bus and tram systems will have you covered, so there's really no need.

Croatia Airlines Bus

by acemj

The best way to get to and from the aiports in Croatia is to take the Croatia Airlines bus. You don't have to fly on Croatia Airlines to ride the bus and, as of February of 2004, the cost was between 25-30 Kunas each way (around 3 USD). In Zagreb, it was 25K and in Dubrovnik and Split is was 30K. The buses are comfortable and you can store luggage below before you get on the bus. The airport is located 20-35 minutes from town in all three cities' case.

Car

by bkoon

The car is still the most convenient to travel around in Croatia, from city to city and along the Adriatic coastline. Dump your luggage into the car boot and as long as you are arm with a road map, it is simple and easy to drive in Croatia.Major car companies can be found in Croatia. Cars can be picked up at the airports. Travelling from Italy is possible, crossing borders to Slovenia is as simple too.

Sailing To and Around

by balisunshine

Another adventurous way to get to or around Croatiais sailing as a crew member.With the many islands that this hidden jewel has,sailing around is a great wayto visit it’s hidden cornersin the Adriatic Sea.Bear in mind,this is not a free ride.You are on board to help with the sailing, cooking, and/or cleaning.So only those who feel comfortable in this setting should apply.You will most probably be asked to contribute to costs,which usually can be anywhere between $10 - $50 US a day.Having this experience with a few boats already,(I have sailed on 3)I strongly recommend that you take timein finding the right vessel before you board.A prior encounter with the captain is not always possible.Since most probably you will take a flight to meet up with the boat.Or the boat will be sailing to pick you up.Exchange as much information before hand,including pictures of the exterior and interior of...

By air

by acemj

Flying around Croatia can be a tad tricky. Well, not difficult, but it can be expensive if you buy your ticket online ahead of time. Croatia Airlines, the country's main carrier has this crazy rule that you can only buy your ticket online three days prior to your departure date (from their website: "Please note that all tickets reserved online, in order to be obtained at the quoted fares, have to be bought within 72 hours in the country of the reserved departure flight.") This means that prices will be higher as prices are always a bit higher closer to your actual flight date. The way around this is to know someone in Croatia who is willing to buy your ticket for you like I did. However, traveling in the off-season, ticket prices were still relatively low. I flew on the earliest flight possible from Zagreb to Split and also on the earliest flight from Dubrovnik to Zagreb and both were...
