If these are all ingredients for perfect holiday, then it is deeply depressing  :'(

Hello, I have a question concerning the campsites in korcula: We would like to stay in Korcula from sept., 23 to oct., 5 – is there any camping place which is opened at that time? We would like to stay around Korcula town.

Camping Site Kalac is opened in September and October:

I have a yacht for two weeks out of Zadar (lucky me) I need to be in Zadar over the middle weekend to meet friends but I am otherwise free to go anywhere.
Can anybody indicate their highlights – I dont want to be too prescriptive but just have an idea of some good places to take in?

You are lucky indeed !!!
There are loads of islands around Zadar, have a look at the map
https://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=43.995778,15.266876&spn=0.689577,1.19751&z=10
Just stay around there, visit Telascica bay at Dugi Otok and Zaut and Kornat and other smaller Kornati all are not far from Zadar. Stick with the islands, that is my suggestion. Kornati islands are Croatian national park.

i am getting conflicted answers – and even more confusing on the jardolina site- I want to leave Split on September 1 with a car and two people to Stari Grad. Then on Septmeber 5th go from Sucuraj to Drvnik two people and a car – can I get some advice – also how can I book ahead? The Jardolina site says you can do on line booking – but i have not been able to do that. Thanks so much – I am about ready to swim!! Penny

You can not book these ferries in advance, they are local ferries and are not bookable in advance.
But you should have no problem as September is not very very very buzy.

My husband and I wish to take a ferry from Split on May 21 or 22, 2008 with stops in Hvar and Korcula end up in Dubrovnik on May 22 or 23, 2008. If there are no ferries on those days, are there other boats we can travel on between the islands and the coast? We fly back to London from Dubrovnik on May 26, 2008.

No ferries from Split to Dubrovnik are available on 21 and 22/05/08

This is what is available:

20.05.2008 07:00 SPLIT  – STARI GRAD (HVAR) 20.05.2008 08:40
20.05.2008 09:00 STARI GRAD (HVAR)  –  KOR?ULA 20.05.2008 12:40
20.05.2008 13:00 KOR?ULA- DUBROVNIK 20.05.2008 16:15

24.05.2008 06:30 SPLIT  – STARI GRAD (HVAR) 24.05.2008 08:00
24.05.2008 08:15  STARI GRAD (HVAR) – KOR?ULA 24.05.2008 11:15 
24.05.2008 11:30 KOR?ULA-  DUBROVNIK 24.05.2008 14:30

Also, fast ferry Split-Hvar-Korcula : https://www.korculainfo.com/ferries/catamaran-korcula.htm and take 3pm bus from Korcula to Dubrovnik : https://www.korculainfo.com/buses-roads-korcula.htm

I would like to have some infomartions about ferries’ schedules from KORCULA to MLJET.
Our week holidays is from the 10th of may to the 15th of may.

This ferry schedule is the one that is valid at your period:

Ferry Brestova – Porozina Timetable:
Summer timetable is not published yet, but will be similar to this one.
For Poliana Mali Losinj to Novalja Pag ferry: I am not sure about this one 

We are planning for next summer a cycling trip along the coastline of Croatia, Rijeka to Dubrovnik, for about 4 weeks. Anybody has experience cycling this coast road ?? Any advice would be very much appreciated re road conditions, driver’s behaviors, ferries etc. Thanks Bob

My suggestion is to cycle along islands using ferries. This way will be much safer and more scenic. Ferries timetables are listed here : https://www.find-croatia.com/ferries-croatia/
Drivers are not very patient with cyclist. Be careful.

Bellow is arrival / departure info for buses in Umag , clickto enlarge image
It shows 5 arrivals to Umage from Pula per day, as well as 5 depatures to Pula.

Peter, I am not aware of any kayak shops in Croatia 
Why don’t you just google it?

Vis is the hippiest island

My husband and I planning to travel to Croatia in April 16-20, 2007 and have a few questions regarding travel arrangements.  We are flying into Dubrovnik and staying the first evening there. 
We would like to visit to Korcula; however, we are unsure of the best way to get to the island. 
Would you be able to tell us the best way to get to the island via Dubrovnik, i.e., boat and/or plane, as well as, the travel time from Dubrovnik to Korcula. 

Take bus that leaves Dubrovnik at 3pm and arrives in Korcula at 6.30 pm.
This is daily bus.

Thank you for this information. I might change my plan and go somewhere else. Can you recommend a camping site near Dubrownik or on the island of Korcula.

Best regards
Nils

I would reccommend Camp Kalac in Korcula – large campsite located on the seashore, on walking distance from the town. It has good facilities including grocery shop : http://www.korcula-croatia.com/camp-kalac.htm

I am conisdering to book a long weekend in April in Zagreb.
Where to stay and what to see?
Any suggestions?
Kind regards Vito

hi all!!

i’m planning a holiday with some friends in croatia. we would like to hire kayaks for around 4 days to explore the islands. being highly experienced, we dont want to take a tour. is there anywhere in dubrovnik to hire these or would we be better catching a ferry to the islands and hiring there.
any help much appreciated
thanks

There are couple of companies that do kayaking around dubrovnik, one of them is  Adriatic Sea Kayaking – Specialist in Sea Kayaking Excursions: http://www.adriatic-sea-kayak.com/. Try to contact them to see about hiring a kayak.

As far as Island are concerned, it is possible to hire a kayak at I would say most of the  islands ( like at Korcula : https://www.korculainfo.com/adverts/canoeing/canoeing.htm ) around Dubrovnik, inclusive of Mljet ( the National Park) too.

I found for you this:

Trasparent Clear Kayak on Korcula Island!!!

Imported all the way from Hawaii, this Sommer 2007 guests of our adventure excursions have that privilege to enjoy the unique clear kayak , first time introduced in Dalmatian Adriatic sea,… and it will be definitly great asset to our kayaks and glassbottom canoe fleet.
Please contact us on our e-mail blazenka.franotovic@du.t-com.hr to reserv tour with us or to rent your own clear kayak this summer 2007 on Korcula island  for unforgetablle adventure!!!

Sounds good to me 

Does anyone know if one can hire cars on the Isalnds of Sipan, Lopud and Kolocep?

We want to visit all of these islands without the wasting time going back to Dubrovnik each time.

Thanks Petra

Petra, there are no traffic on these islands, so no car hire 

OK,thanks, sounds good.

Is it possible , by any chance, to reach Buje by bus from Venice ?

This might me better option as far as flights are concerned?

Yes, bus from Venice to Buje is run by Brioni d.d bus company – it runs from Venice, via Trieste to Buje and then to Rovinj and Pula.
You can go back that way too.

What is diling code for Zagreb if I want to call from Poland?
I try to call 0038501 and then number but it says there is error? ???
What is wrong with this telephone number ??? ???

Hi Peter,

You have right diling code, all you have to do is to delete that 0 in front of number 1 if you call Zagreb from abroad.
So, in case you are calling Zagreb from abroad, you have to dial ++3851 ( no 0) and then the rest of the telephone number.
