To travel to some of these islands you can use public transport as all islands with permanent residents in the archipelago are interconnected by daily ferries from neighboring islands as well as with Zadar and Biograd Na Moru on the mainland. However, to visit smaller, unpopulated islands, you would need to either rent a boat or take a locally organized day trip excursion to the islands. The nearest airport is Zadar.
