Hi, I'm considering going to Croatia from the UK in the summer of this year. I'd like to be able to learn to sail and this company appears to have very reasonable rates and the possibility of a verifiable qualification afterwards: activityyachting.com/Croatia... Does anyone have any experience using this company or would recommend any other companies that do this sort of thing in this region or possibly another region. In addition to this I'd like to fit in a day or two fishing, does anyone know of any good fishing charters that cater to single or small group travelers? Thanks Dave

Hi, I will be in Split in August and was thinking of visiting either the Krka National Park or the further away Plitvice National Park. I know that Krka is 30 mins and Plitvice is around a three hour bus ride. Also the rafting in the river Cetina. How easy is to book a day tour in Split for these, with only a day in advance? Also if someone has any recomendations on a particular tour? Thanks.

Can you get off the bus along the way and catch a later bus? We would like to stop and have lunch on the way.

Hello everybody, I will need to get from Athens to Split with minimum stops possible. I checked direct flights, but there are not any and I should fly via Zagreb which is not too convenient and fast. Would greatly appreciate your advices on the routing. Actually, my end destination will be Bol - but the chance to get from Athens directly to Bol is even more microscopic:-( Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello...I will be visiting the above places in December. At the moment, I am planning on my travel budget. There are too many attractions to visit, and some are quite pricey (in my money).

My interest is war museums, or anything related to war sites etc, art galleries (not modern art though, I prefer the older ones), castles / palaces, architecture, gardens / parks, mountain, snow.... Thanks.

Hello, I will be flying into Split from Berlin in May, where I plan to spend a few nights on Hvar. My flight arrives on at Thursday a bit after noon. What's the best way to get from the airport to the ferry landing? Is there a bus, or is taxi my best option? According to Lonely Planet a bus meets all Croatian Airline flights, but I'm flying in on Germanwings. In addition, I assume I can just get my ferry tickets on the same day. (I only need the passenger ferry, not the car ferry)

Good evening everybody, I've never been to Croatia before, but am thinking of going in May for a week. I'd like to stay in Split being as it's coastal and looks a gorgeous place. How easy is it to take day trips to Dubrovnik, Mostar and Sarajevo? Ideally by train as I don't really want to spend hours on a cramped old bus! I see there are a couple of trains daily from Ploce - is this still the case to get to Mostar and Sarajevo? If so, how simple is the trip from Split to Ploce? Can anyone recommend a good hotel in Split? I'd like a 3* hotel, or 2* if it's very clean and comfortable. Ideally fairly central. Is there much in the way of nightlife and entertainment around Split? Thanks for any help, I will reply again as I make more decisions! Thanks, Adrian
