MarioSpectatorhmmm, vira is bit to big for my needs
any smaller campsites?in reply to: Ferry from Dubrovnik to Hvar Korcula and Split #16984
MarioSpectatorDoes Jadrolinija’s coastal ferry from Rijeka to Dubrovnik (and further to Bari) stop at Mljet? The timetable (https://www.find-croatia.com/ferries-croatia/) doesn’t have any imformation about Mljet, but in the blog it says so: “According to Jutarnji.hr , Jadrolinija’s Coastal Ferries that connect Rijeka with Dubrovnik via Split, Hvar, Korcula and Mljet , proceeding further to Bari in Italy, will sail from June to October only.” (https://www.find-croatia.com/jadrolinijas-coastal-ferries-will-sail-from-june-to-october-only/)
Or is there another way to get from Mljet to Split in July, maybe on the 16th or 17th of July?Try to search and book here : http://www.croatiaferries.com
in reply to: Sexist Croatian tourist board TV commercial #16982
MarioSpectatorThe BBDO marketing agency said on the tourist board’s website that when shooting the commercial “we did not completely take into account the wider context” of showing a woman’s body and the offending shot had been removed.

in reply to: Spending money for five days on Mljet? #16961
MarioSpectatorThanks, Mario. Do you mean 300 kuna per person, or for both of us?
well, depends how much you like to spend…
max 300 kuna per person, minimum 100 kuna for both of you.
something like thatin reply to: Spending money for five days on Mljet? #16958
MarioSpectatorI guess 300 kuna per day should be sufficient…
MarioSpectatorIf the travel cost to Croatia (by car) keeps increasing, I think the only ?public transport? which will increase if the all inclusive flights to turkey.
Only time will tell.
Let’s come back to this topic in few years time to see how tourism and travelling changed.
We may be surprised
MarioSpectatorI believe future of tourism and travelling in general is in public transport.
Therefore, the cost of roads for private cars is not something which I would consider as important in this context. There are trains and buses from Germany to Croatia, which one can use if can’t pay for motorways.
30 or 25 kuna for one way for catamaran or ferry is price which is unsustainable in long run and I am looking foward for introduction of real, cost based fares for visitors and tourists.
Tourist were visiting islands long before these prices where introduced and will continue to visit I have no doubt about this.
MarioSpectatorLook at this article: http://www.novilist.hr/2010/02/04/loncar-3A-katamaranske-linije-i-.aspx
“…predsjednik uprave Slavko Lon?ar, koji u odgovoru na tra?enje da se subvencioniraju karte za katamaran samo oto?anima, a ne svim putnicima kako je to bilo do sada, navodi:
? Mislim da ?e se i?i u tom pravcu, jer ?e sredstava za subvencije u prora?unu biti sve manje, ne samo zbog krize, ve? je tendencija da se pla?a tr?na cijena. Dakle, vinjete, to?nije magnetske kartice koje bi u budu?nosti trebale imati i fotografiju korisnika, bile bi izdavane samo osobama sa stalnim prebivali?tem na otoku i njime bi se ostvarile pogodnosti kod kupnje karata, kako za trajekt tako i za katamarane i brodske veze. Takva kartica bi osigurala i to?nu evidenciju putovanja oto?ana, navodi predsjednik uprave Jadrolinije dr. sc. Slavko Lon?ar…”
MarioSpectatorI dont think there would be anybody on the ferries in that case, which would be tough for the the islands and turism.
In my opinion ferry tickets should be so cheap (subsidised) for people who live permanently on the islands. Tourists and visitors should pay market prices, not subsidised prices.
MarioSpectatorI am sure ferries are run with loses, but instead to suspend ferries, why not introduce fares that are meaningfull, instead of peanuts. 25 or 30 kuna for one way from Hvar to Split is rediculous fare. at least 150 kuna one way is normal price.
in reply to: Travel to/from Dubrovnik, Split, Greece and Venice #16917
MarioSpectatorI think it will go ahead. This ferry is already passing by on 15 miles fro Dubrovnik and it will be no much more expensive to stop in Dubrovnik, take passengers and carry on further to or from Venice and Greece. Dubrovnik was always before stop on this route.
in reply to: Zadar to Pula ferry #16911
MarioSpectatorMatt: The ferry from Zadar to Pula leaves at 4 pm from Zadar and gets to Pula at 8.30 pm. So you have to leave a day earlier and overnight in Pula to catch that flight.
Lisabet: There is no such car ferry route. Foot passengers only route is here
If you have a car, you would need to drive.
in reply to: Flights to Croatia – best comparison website? #16910
MarioSpectatorGuys from Croatian Villas found these prices on Easyjet:
For example, a March return trip to Dubrovnik from London is currently on sale for just ?59.08, while an April visit to Split will set tourists back only ?46.20 for travel as things stand.
In the summer, a similar journey to Dubrovnik can be found for ?52.87 in June and, once more, a Split trip retails at ?46.20 during the sale.
MarioSpectatorYour route is possible, good choice, lot of people do this route.
The only thing is, you have to go to Vis from Split as there is no any connection to this island from anywhere else.There is now ferry connection between Vis and Hvar.
All Croatian Islands are here:
https://www.find-croatia.com/islands-croatia/Ferries between islands are all listed at this page:
https://www.find-croatia.com/ferries-croatia/We would not recommend car hire, it is better to use public transport.
I hope this helps a bit
in reply to: Zagreb to Rab #16905
MarioSpectatorI am planning to get the bus ferry which runs from zagreb to the island of Rab–in june–
I’ve got the time table from the internet but wonder if anyone can tell me where it docks..is it Lopar–
if so is it easy to get to banjol from thereFerry from Zagreb to Rab? You mean bus?
in reply to: After New Year’s Eve, where to go ? #16902
MarioSpectatorUcka yes, good idea.
Worth to visit at Ucka mountain are villages Vela and Mala Ucka, as they are the only villages that are located so high ? at about 900 m! The main activity in these vilalges are agriculture and cattle as well as some tourism too. In the village Vela Ucka there is a well known inn, popular among tourists.
Boarding House Ucka – Address: Vela Ucka bb – Telephone: +385(0)51 603 340
Restaurant Dopolavoro – Address: Vela Ucka 9 – Telephone: +385(0)51 299 641
MarioSpectatorIf you would like to scuba dive on your own, you have to get permition from local authority. Check with Zadar Tourist office, as Zadar is the nearest larger place near Kornati and Silba, Olib and Pag.
in reply to: Deal on Suncani Hvar to be disclosed on Tuesday #16867
MarioSpectatorHotel company Suncani Hvar chief Jacques Bourgeois has been dismissed after four years in his position.
The daily Slobodna Dalmacija has reported that Bourgeois was dismissed because of extremely bad business results.
According to the daily, the company?s supervisory board will officially confirm the news today (Fri). Bourgeois will be succeeded by Miro Dincic from Zagreb, who has international experience in tourism.
Suncani Hvar is majority owned by the Orco Property Group. Dincic was reportedly once an Orco employee but left the company after a disagreement with company management on Hvar Island.
Suncani Hvar has had financial problems for some time and suffered a big decline in overnights and turnover this year. (www.croatiantimes.com)
in reply to: Flights to Croatia – best comparison website? #16857
MarioSpectatorCan somebody suggest what is the best comparison site for flights to Croatia?
I use kayak.com and travelsupermarket.com
I always check easyjet and rayair sites, but never booked anyting from them.
Wizz air for zagreb flights is good to check.
Croatia Airlines is hopeless :
Any more?Cheapflights.com is good / always check that one for smaller airlines and touroperator flights

MarioSpectatorLooking at the Jadrolinija website, the ferry only goes south twice a week, not on the days we want to travel. Is there any other way to get by boat from Split to Dubrovnik around Sept 12? Perhaps from an island?
Can you take day trips to Hvar and Korcula from Split and still return to Split in the evening?Take bus to Split from Rijeka and then ferries around the islands.
Day trips are also possible from Split to islands.
MarioSpectatorWhat weather can I expect during mid September to mid October. Will it be camping weather
I belevie it will be dry enough for camping, but you never know .
Usually weather is okin reply to: ferries in september #16491
MarioSpectatoralso, i have not done a lot of research and i am wondering if there are ferries that go between korcula and hvar, or do we need to go back to dubrovnik first? thanks.
Daily ferry goes from Korcula to Hvar at 6 am. You don’t need to go back to Dubrovnik.
in reply to: Help please = pula/rijeka to zadar #16487
MarioSpectatorI don’t think there is any other ferries that sail to Zadar from Pula. Private boat would take ages. Your best option is to take bus to Rijeka and then bus to Zadar. Buses to Zadar from Rijeka are very frequent.
in reply to: Getting from Trieste to Zadar #16463
MarioSpectatorTake any bus to Rijeka and change there for Zadar. There are lot of buses going down the coast from Rijeka to Split all day and night.
in reply to: Busses from dubrovnik to spilt…NB!! #16452
MarioSpectatorYou have plenty of time. Bus journey is about 4 hours, buses run often, like once an hour. Take any bus going towards rijeka, zadar, or ploce and change or get off in Split.
in reply to: Travel Decisions #16451
MarioSpectatorYes, you can do Hvar as well as Pag. Rab is to far north. Stay at south near around Split.
in reply to: Dubrovnik to Korcula/hvar #16424
MarioSpectatorHello, Can you please tell me if there are daily ferries from Dubrovnik to Hvar in July.
Not unfortunately hopefully somebody will change that soon :

in reply to: Ferry from Split – Hvar (with car) #16422
MarioSpectatorAlso consider to drive to Drvenik and then take ferry to Sucuraj at Hvar
MarioSpectatorI hope by September that line will work but you never know
MarioSpectatori have another question, are the islands in the north better than the south ? as im flying to pula do u think it is better to get a boat to zadar then travel down te islands down there rather staying in the north ?
whats the difference between the two, i dont mind taking the boat down as long as it will be a better experienceIslands are similar north and south. It is peronal preference. You might as well stay in the vicinity to avoid travelling, you will still have nice time……
in reply to: Pula to Zadar by Ferry, Car Ferry, Catamaran #16389
MarioSpectatorHello,is there a possibility to travel by ferry from either Pula or Rijeka to Zadar with a car and caravan? We want to be in Zadar on July 15?
No, there is no car ferry from Pula to Zadar or Rijeka to Zadar. You have to drive along the coast.

in reply to: Ferry from Dubrovnik to Hvar Korcula and Split #16338
MarioSpectatorWhat ferry service is available in September from Korcula to Dubrovnik?
We are specifically interested in high speed ferry service and ideally would like to go from Korcula to Mijet and then on to Dubrovnik. From the schedule available on the internet it appears, with the exception of the car ferries, service between Korcula and Dubrovnik is discontinued on August 31. Is the latter accurate or is there service during September and if so what are the scheduled days and time.Yes, fast ferries from Dubrovnik to Korcula are not sailing in September. To Mljet you have Nona Ana ferry https://www.korculainfo.com/ferries/catamaran-dubrovnik-mljet-korcula-lastovo.htm

What is a quick way and at a reasonable price as ther will be family adults/22/13 and we only have 11 days in Croatia
Any help greatly apreciatedYou don’t have lot of options. From Rijeka to Split by bus or ferry unless you want to visit Istria. In that case there are ferries from Venice to Pula / Porec / Rovinj…
in reply to: Late evening buses from the airport #16336
MarioSpectatorI have seen on a number of sites that there is a public bus service from Dubrovik airport to the centre shorlty after each main flight. My flights arrive at 20.40 and depart at about the same time the following week.
I arrive on 23rd June.Will the bus still be running at these times please as the other fares are in excess of ?60 return.
It is very likely you will have bus from Airport to Dubrovnik, as Croatia Airlines flight from Zagreb is arriving at 22:05 . Buses always meet their flights
in reply to: Best location in Dubrovnik #16323
MarioSpectatorI was wondering which area is a better area to actually stay while in Dubrovnik, the Old Town or Lapad area?
At the moment I’m thinking the Lapad area with the beach, bars and restaurants close by, is this correct?Hard to say, depends of your preferences. I like old town, there are also some beaches near there.
in reply to: To Split from Rijeka #16322
MarioSpectatorI was just inquiring about some information on getting a ferry from Rijeka to spilt. I would arrive in Rijeka on the 18th june at 5.30pm so i was just seeing if there was a ferry that left that evening or the next day? Also whats the cost and how fair away is the port from the train station?
The earliest ferry is departing on 20/06
departure RIJEKA 20.06.2008 20:00 arrival SPLIT 21.06.2008 06:00
Price is 137 HRK for foot passenger.in reply to: Split to Pula train or bus or ferry? #16321
MarioSpectatorThere are no trains that serve this route. You would need to take a ferry and bus.
Update: Ferry from Split to Rijeka is suspended for several years now, https://www.find-croatia.com/ferries-croatia/
The best is to consider a bus from Split to Zadar and a ferry from Zadar to Pula: https://ferryspots.com/pula-split-ferry/
Buses from Split to Rijeka are also very frequent, you change in Rijeka for the bus to Pula.
in reply to: Getting from Split to Venice in August #16320
MarioSpectatorI think you will be better off to travel from Venice to Trieste and Rijeka to Split.
in reply to: Zadar to Ancona ferry #16307
MarioSpectatorZadar Ancona timetable is at this link https://www.find-croatia.com/ferries-croatia/
MarioSpectatorKrk is large island, very close to the mainland. It has bridge to mainland which is easy to travel.
Hotels are listed at this link which offers online booking http://www.booking.com/region/hr/krk.html?aid=314174
You can take ferry to other islands like Cres, Losinj or Rab, it is hard to reccomend which one, as all of them have something specific, check introductions for each to make your decision. I think it is better for you to stay up north as going down to Hvar is too far from Venice. My favorite place on Krk is Glavotok, small place but has beautiful XIV century Franciscan church and monastery. Also go to Pag to taste paski sir (pag cheese). If you have your own car it you can visit lot of places!
Glavotok photoin reply to: Bus from Plitvice to Krasno/Oltari #16267
MarioSpectatorI checked with guys at Otocac bus station ( Autoprijevoz Oto?ac tel ++385 (0)53 77 11 56)
There are two buses daily (not Sat nor sunday) from Otocac to Krasno: first one at 5am and second one at 2 pm.
It takes about 1 hour (60 minutes ) to come to Krasno.
in reply to: Itinerary Dubrovnik Split Zagreb #16245
MarioSpectatorWe are planning to visit Croatia for 7 days in July.
I still need to map out my itiniary.
We are flying in to Split and out of Zagreb.
First night we will be in Split, then two days on an island Hvar or Korcula , then taking a bus to Dubrovnik , few nights there, and flying out to for last day and night Zagreb.
I also read great things about Mljet…any advice??Sounds good to me. Add day trip from Korcula or Dubrovnik to Mljet and then it will be perfect

MarioSpectatorI will check for you tommorrow and post my findings here.
in reply to: Ferry Split to Italy in late September #16226
MarioSpectatorI assume a bus from Split to Zadar would be the best way to get there.
Is the bus stop in Zadar near the port/ferry or do I need to allow more time for that?
I assume you can only buy tickets at the port so how long before departure do you need to be at the port?
I’m trying to determine how long I would need to allow to get to the ferry on time. I expect it might mean a 7am bus from Split.
Many thanks in advance for your advice.Yes, bus is a good way, lot of buses go up and down the coast.
Bus station in Split is very near the ferry port, see map here:
https://www.find-croatia.com/map-split-city-bus-transport/
In Zadar is bit futher, but not very far. Give 1/2 hour for that max.
Buses to Zadar Info and links are here https://www.find-croatia.com/zadar/buses-zadar.phpYou can but ferry ticket in advance from here:
http://www.traghettionline.net/eng/index.asp?partner=find-croatiaEven if you have ticket in advance, you stil need to be there early to embark on ferry thereforeg go to Zadar as early as possible.
in reply to: Ferry Split to Italy in late September #16222
MarioSpectatorMy wife and I are holidaying in Dalmatia for 12 days in September. We finish a cruise in Split on early 27th (possibly late 26th but unlikely) and are wanting to cross to Italy. Our investigation suggests the only ferry route is Split – Ancona and none (Jadrolinija, Blue Ferries or SNAV) seem to depart on the Saturday (27th) so we have to wait until Sunday when there is a choice of 2, both sailing at 9pm. Are there any other ferries or other opportunities (other destinations in Italy) to cross to Italy before the Sunday night ferry? Ferries also travel to Pescara but it appears not at that time of year? Any other suggestions?
You can go to Zadar and take ferry to Ancona :
ZADAR 27.09.2008 12:00 ANCONA 27.09.2008 18:00Or if you want to go down to Dubrovnik, there is ferry from Dubrovnik to Bari : DUBROVNIK 27.09.2008 16:00 BARI 27.09.2008 22:00
I don’t think you will find anything else from Split except flight from Split (via Zagreb) to Rome. Croatia Airlines, depart Split 1pm arrival Rome 5pm.

MarioSpectatorFerry from Split or Korcula is the best option.
Forget buses, Sucuraj to Drvenik ferry is adjusted to suit people with cars.in reply to: Visit to Palagruza #16125
MarioSpectatorPalagruza is one of the most remote islands, the sea can be rough depending of weather conditions. I doubt any local fishermen would accept to go there
in reply to: Best route to drive up the Croatian Coast? #16084
MarioSpectatorMy girlfriend and I are arriving in Dubrovnik by car ferry in August and plan to spend two weeks driving up the Croatian coast, camping along the way. So if anyone can answer any of the following questions for me, I’d be very grateful.
What the best route? Where can’t we miss? How should we see the islands? Should we take our car onto the islands or just go for the day on foot? Where should we avoid?
Drive from Dubrovnik to Prapratno on Peljesac, take ferry from there to Sobra on Mljet Island.
Drive from Prapratno to Orebic, take ferry from there to visit Korcula Island.
From Korcula take ferry to Hvar (Stari Grad) or ferry to Drvenik and from there ferry to Sucuraj (Hvar Island)
From Hvar take ferry to Split and drive to Trogir, Krka National Park and Sibenik.
Further up the coast is Zadar – visit Kornati Islands National Park – don’t take car for islands around Zadar, lot of them are car-free zones. Take day trips for these.
Further up the coast you can visit Losinj, Cres, Rab and Krk islands. Krk has a bridge, so no ferry needed.Once you finish with islands, drive/ferry to Rijeka and accross the Slovenia border to Austria or Italy.in reply to: Have you traveled with sail-croatia.com? #16083
MarioSpectatorMy girlfriend and I are thinking of booking a “navigator cruise” with this tour operator, does anyone know if they’re any good or if there is something better?
I never heard of this company, but I am not the one who would be interested in this type of holiday anyway, so don’t judge it on this fact.
I know that all sailing boats of this type in Croatia are safe and crew members are well trained so I expect this boat is of the same quality.
Try to talk to them to get the impression and ask them for some references from previous guests as well as name of the boat/ship to check further…

MarioSpectatorHello
My husband and I are planning to go to Croatia this summer on a camping/ cycling hoilday.
Is there a brochure with details of all small (50 pitches of less) camps in Croatia?Hi Anita, as far as I know, there is no listings for small capsites available. This discussion : https://www.find-croatia.com/forum/index.php?topic=1205.0 might help you a bit
MarioSpectatorA group of 34 people are travelling to Split from UK in Sept .
Please advise best way to travel between Split and Biograd, train, bus or ferry?
Where can we find details such as timetables and prices?There is no train or ferry between Split and Biograd. The only transport is by road, by bus.
Buses go from Split to Biograd regularly, almost every hour, sometimes more often, but you might have problem finding places on one bus for 34 people. Perhaps you can get private transfer for your group if you all want to be on the same bus?Bus station in Split is

where you can find bus timetables.
September is not listed yet, but bus timetable will be similar as now.in reply to: Flights to Dubrovnik – Family travel to Dubrovnic #16031

MarioSpectatoryou don’t need to buy your ticket in advance if you are going to be foot passenger only.
you can buy it on the spot, depending what are your travel plans.
if you need cabin, or you have a car then , yes, buy ticket.in reply to: Good intro to Croatia by Washington Post #15956
MarioSpectatorPreferably Euro these days
in reply to: Plitvice Lakes on a day trip #15955
MarioSpectatorYou can always go to Plitvice for two-day/ weekend trip from South Dalmatia.
Lot of buses are running from the coast toward Zagreb and on their way they stop at Plitvice.in reply to: Zagreb protests over Italian stamp #15954
MarioSpectatorooooooooops, your stamp photo is gone ???
in reply to: Relocating… #15953
MarioSpectatorI would budget a double room for about 100 kuna per night, average, for long term let.
This would be minimum price.in reply to: The Best and the Worst~~~ #15952
MarioSpectatorWhat’s wrong with the shops and housing?
i guess foggy has to live with his parents so he find housing as the worst bit of croatia.
shops, i guess, he thinks about prices.
:in reply to: Car rental #15930
MarioSpectatorThis is a good info about car rental in Croatia, green card and crossing the borders:
Question:
? We plan to visit Croatia and Montenegro next summer. We will hire a car at Dubrovnik and, after spending a week in Croatia, drive to Montenegro for another week. I’ve heard that there can be issues with insurance at the border when entering Montenegro. Also, what are driving conditions like in Montenegro? There are four of us with luggage. Will hiring a large car (Skoda Octavia estate) be OK?Answer:
Before independence, Serbia and Montenegro was one of the countries in Europe which required drivers to produce a Green Card. This card forms the basis of a system designed to make driving across borders much smoother. A Green Card offers no insurance cover but is proof that the minimum legal requirements for third party liability insurance are covered by the driver’s own motor policy. Your insurance company should be able to provide you with this card without charge. Recent multi-lateral guarantees between EU countries have removed the need for a Green Card within the EU. However, since independence, Montenegro has not met the requirements that allow Green Cards to be recognised. You will need to arrange cover at the border which will cost ?60.in reply to: ferry schedule Split to Brac #15917
MarioSpectatorWill be traveling the coast the last week in March. Would like to visit islands but understand it is early in the season. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thinking about Split to Brac. 1 night on island. Need ferry skeds,etc.
Thanks, RandyIt is easy to reach Brac from Split – there are ferries sailing almost around the clock. No worries
in reply to: Overnight transport to Venice #15893
MarioSpectatorNot that I know of
MarioSpectatorNo, there is no borderless highway. You have to cross the border.
in reply to: veli losinj ferries #15890
MarioSpectatorI want to visit veli losinj while in Croatia next month. What are my choices for ferry service to the island? I will be spending the majority of my time in Dubrovnik.
Losinj is quite far from Dubrovnik.
Are you sure you want to go there?
If yes, than take jadrolinija.hr ferry to Rijeka and then ferry to Losinj. Long sail though..in reply to: Car rental #15889
MarioSpectatorAny well established franchise would do : Hertz or similar.
MarioSpectatorTake ferry from Split / Hvar or Korcula to Dubrovnik and you don’t need any border crossing.
in reply to: split hvar- split ferry / trasnporting car? #15887
MarioSpectatorAs I said before, drive to Drvenik ( near Makarska) and take ferry to Sucuraj ( on the island of Hvar) .
in reply to: Ferry from Dubrovnik to Hvar Korcula and Split #15886
MarioSpectatorDrive to Drvenik and take ferry to Sucuraj ( on Hvar Island).

in reply to: Pula to Porec #15882
MarioSpectatoryes, we use euro, problemas
in reply to: where can we see Croatia’s wildlife? #15844
MarioSpectatorBiokovo is interesting mountain to see all sorts of birds and animals. It is not too far from Kvarner , perhaps you can consider it. https://www.find-croatia.com/natureparks-croatia/biokovo.htm
It is easy to reach by bus from Makarska.
Another interesting areas is Vranjsko Jezero and Kopacki Rit Nature parks.
Especially if you like bird watching.
Links and short intros you can find here: https://www.find-croatia.com/natureparks-croatia/index.htm
Vranjsko Jezero is on the coast, so not too far from Velebit and Losinj, Kopacki Rit is bit further up in Easter Slavonia, maybe it is too far for you to go if you have 2 weeks only.
Before you go contact peole in Parks and Sanctuaries to avoid possible dissapointments
Best wishes to you , I like to hear from people that are nature lovers :-*in reply to: Venice to Croatia by ferry #15843
MarioSpectatorFerries from Dubrovnik to Rijeka i October will not be as frequent as in July / August, usually ferries sail 2-3 times a week .
You might end up forced to take bus.
Check later with Jadrolinija site, they are always slow in publishing their timetables.in reply to: Camping gear rental #15865
MarioSpectatorShame.
ditto.
in reply to: Croatian Visa for Russian Tourists #15864
MarioSpectatorI see no reason for refusing visa to somebody who would like to stay in campsite instead of hotel or apartment.
So my answer would be YES, campsite where you will stay can send you letter of confirmation to obtain that visa.
in reply to: Mljet Ferries Pomena Trstenik #15851

http://www.hfp.hr/UserDocsImages/Keys-big.jpgin reply to: Typical souvenir from Croatia #15849
MarioSpectatorMy favorite is Bajadera Chocolate – Bajadera is a dessert of the highest quality, combining central European confectionery artistry and luxurious oriental flavor. Bajadera is a queen among desserts, with the distinctive flavor of fine nougat enriched with almonds. For generations of customers, Bajadera has been the symbol of the ultimate dessert. We are proud to say that Bajadera was the first sweet confection to receive the designation ?Original Croatian? from the Croatian Chamber of Commerce. Its uniqueness is also recognized by numerous customers in many countries.
And , of course,KIKI!!!!
Enjoy KI-KI everywhere! KI-KI is distinguished from other caramels on the market by its high quality, assorted flavors, pocket-size to family-size packages, attractive design, recognized logotype and clown mascot. The most popular product in this line is the KI-KI fruit caramel, which has been manufactured since the beginning of the last century, the favorite caramel of generations of customers.
MarioSpectatorNo mor news yet – Jadrolinija is now simmering, they have no option he, he :
MarioSpectatorI will buy all souvenirs with Tito’s face on it
in reply to: Where to stay? #15803
MarioSpectatorI like Rovinj because you can go for day trip to Venice fo 70 Euro. Not expensive.
in reply to: Mljet National Park Transport #15802
MarioSpectatorI would say it cost about 150 kuna. Not sure.
in reply to: We expect record tourist season, says Kalmeta #15801
MarioSpectatorDoes it really matter is tourism figures grows? It doesn’t guarantee anything will be better or worse. I dont like figures, they are boring.
in reply to: 10 days between pula and rijeka #15800
MarioSpectatorHi Meeee, I personally have no experience with wild camping but I always see people wild camping around our coast.
It is not legal but I believe you will be ok if you don’t upset locals. Very important is that you don’t do some kind of camp fire or anything to do with fire as people will get very upset because of danger.
Yes Rijeka ariport is the one that is at north end of Krk. This is same airport.
Ferries are very reliable and there are lot of them sailing up and down and between the islands.

in reply to: September Bus and Ferry Dubrovnik – Korcula #15617
MarioSpectatorMorning,
I am having difficulty finding timetables on bus and ferry services from Dubrovnik to Korcula. As I am booking accommodation in both locations I was hoping to have definate information on the services provided. We will be arriving in Dubrovnik on the 14th September 2007 and were hoping to travel to Korcula dependent on bus or ferry availability that day. We will, then be returning to Dubrovnik from Korcula on Tuesday 18th September 2007.
Can you please shed some light on whether these dates suit bus or ferry timetables or on which days travel is available.
Much appreciated

There is a daily bus that leaves Dubrovnik at 15.00 and arrives in Korcula at 18.30.
For travel from Korcula to Dubrovnik, take daily bus that leaves at 6.45 and arrives in Dubrovnik at 9.30.in reply to: Best Way to Travel to Dubrovnik, Split, Venice #15605
MarioSpectatorwhat is the best way to travel between Split and Venice?
This is a difficult one. I would personally take the
ferry Split – Rijeka. From Rijeka, I would use the bus to go to Venice ( via Trieste): Timetable: https://www.arriva.com.hr/Update: Split to Rijeka ferry is discontinued, so in my opinion, the way to travel between Split and Venice is:
- the Split to Zadar bus
- Zadar to Pula ferry
- Pula to Venice ferry – see details here

MarioSpectatorI am going to be in Croatia over the Easter Holidays this year and I was wondering what the laws were on camping.
I was planning on treking from Dubrovnik and visiting some of the islands and then going back onto mainland to go into the national park.
Would I be able to camp at this time.
If there are no campsites in the area is it alright to camp in the hills or by the sea?
Have a look at this page : https://www.find-croatia.com/camping-croatia/
I hope this answers your question.
Generally, you are not allowed to camp out of designated areas.
However, if you ask the owner of the field to overnight in his/her field, you are on the safe side.
