Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
Getting Around
Thanks to the new motorway network travel between resorts is now much easier. Airports are normally well served by transfer options including minibuses, taxis and buses. If you’re planning to island hop the main ferry terminals are found Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar and Rijeka, and the service is efficient and regular, especially during the summer months.
Car hire is widely available but parking is difficult in cities such as Dubrovnik, and taking a car increases the cost of ferry trips. Car hire is a good option if travelling by road between smaller resorts as its much more convenient than the bus network. If you do decide to opt for car hire, remember to drive on the right.
