Getting around

By ferry

Travelling by ferry along the Croatian coast and between the mainland and islands is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding ways of exploring the Croatian Adriatic, and in the case of the islands (with the exception of Krk and Pag, which are connected to the mainland by bridge, or unless you happen to have your own boat) it’s the only way to get there. All of the major inhabited islands – including all the islands featured in this guide – are accessible from the mainland by ferry or catamaran, the most convenient ferry-departure points being Split, Zadar and Rijeka (see Appendix B). Services between some of the major islands are not as comprehensive as they might be (in some cases inter-island services are non-existent). Ferry tickets are cheap (sometimes an absolute bargain) for those travelling on foot, but less so for those with a car. As well as the larger passenger ferries (which also carry cars) there are smaller car ferries, small passenger-only ferries and faster passenger-only catamaran services.
