| Istria | 8 DAYS FROM ZAGREB TO DUBROVNIK BY CAR / 19 - 27 SEPTEMBER Posted: Wed September 9, 2009 10:48 AM UTC
We will rent a car from Zagrep and we will go down to Dubrovnik by car. I have four questions :
1/Do I have time to visit İstria region ? 2/What are the cities that I shouldn't miss for my first trip in Croatia ? 3/Which are the cities or island that I have to spend more than one day ? 4/Can I take my car to the islands like Korcula and Hvar ? Finally I ask to people who know croatia well if you were for the first time in Croatia how you would orgonize your 8 days trip from Zagreb to Dubrovnik ? I didin't reserve any hotel my trip is it a problem can I find places and better prices by walking in the places ? Thanks for your time |

| Rovinj | Advice needed about restaurants in Rovinj Posted: Sat July 18, 2009 07:14 PM UTC
We are about to book a week in Rovinj in early September.
Can anyone recommend good local restaurants - Our tastes are wide and we like to sample the local food when abroad. Any general advice about Rovinj would also be helpful as we have not been to Rovinj before but we have been to other parts of Croatia - Cavtat and Korcula. Thanks, Keith |

| Pula | Travelling Pula to Split and back up Posted: Tue July 7, 2009 02:58 PM UTC
Hi
in a couple of week sI am taking my family with three kids to Pula to see a freind and then we have arranged to get a car down to Split in a day in order to get on a boat and do some islands. Does anyone know the best and cheapest way of going back from Split (or possibly Zadar) to Pula bearing in mind we have three kids with us aged 10,11 and 15. The car hire is much more expensive going up and I've already booked it coming down! We have two days to get there, leaving either on a Sunday pm or travelling on the Monday. I believe there might be a ferry but does anyone know what kind of cost is involved? Thanks |

| Pula | Day Trips from Pula Posted: Tue June 16, 2009 01:12 PM UTC
I am organizing a trip for a group of people from Russia next summer. I want to know if it possible to travel to Venice for the day for Russian citizens if they do not have a Visa to Italy. Can a visa for the day be purchased or does this need to be arranged with local embassies in Russia before our trip. Please advise. Thanks.

| Rovinj | Excursions from Rovinj Posted: Sat June 13, 2009 12:23 PM UTC
I'd like to visit Plitvice Lakes National Park (party of 3) but who offers excursions from Rovinj?
Also is it worth the long journey or are there lesser comparable attractions closer to Rovinj? What are costs like - i.e. could I get a private car trip and guide - I could consider car hire but it's 3 or 4 hours drive each way. Might I find an enterprising local who'd take us for maybe USD150? |

| Pula | Day Trip Excursions from pula Posted: Sun May 31, 2009 10:53 AM UTC
Does anyone have information about organised day trip excusions from Pula? A trip to Venice seems possible, but I would also like info about a day in Trieste, cruise around the islands or to one of the national parks. I appreciate that there is only so much that can be done on a day trip and I can see little point in spending hours on a tour bus and only a little time at a destination.
Any mini-reviews from people who have done such things would be very welcome. Thanks John |

| Istria | Border crossing with Slovenia on smaller roads Posted: Sat August 30, 2008 10:40 PM UTC
I have a detailed map of Istra (1/110,000) that shows a custom office on the border between Slovenia and Croatia on the main roads. They do not show any on small roads. Does that mean that these road are not open for border crossing ? (or may be only for locals?) I am especially interested in the road from Motovun, Livade, Sv Lucija (Croatia) to Gradin, Trebeše, Gracišce (Slovenia). Sorry, I cannot get properly the C with diacritic for Gracišce!

| Porec | weather and bus travel Posted: Thu August 14, 2008 05:10 PM UTC
Hi,
My husband and I are going to Porec for 10 days beginning of Sept. and wondered if anyone has been there at this time and what the weather generally is like. Do we need warm clothing or is it mixed ? We never get it right wherever we go, so would like to hear from anyone who has also visited at this time of the year to give us a rough idea. Also we like to get around by local transport, so are the buses ad trains quite good for seeing the country and do they travel far afield ? Thanks to anyone who may have the answers. Sylvia |

| Istria | Need to know somewhere good to stay near the beach Posted: Thu August 7, 2008 10:24 AM UTC
Hi, had found a really nice apartment but it's full for when we want to go (September). Now need to find another one quick. I've read all the advice on the site, just wondering if anyone has a personal recommendation really.
Want somewhere close to the beach - preferably near Pula although not for sure. Would also really like a balcony with a sea view, and it needs to be self catered. Alternatively if I'm dreaming any other recommendations would be good as well! Thanks |

| Pula | Best Beaches and Accomodation Posted: Sun July 27, 2008 04:40 PM UTC
Hi
I am travelling to Pula at the beginning of August by myself. Is it easy at this time to find reasonable private accommodation - not hostels, I snore to loud to be in a dorm. Also, where are the best beaches to relax with decent restaurants nearby. Not looking for serious night life - I'm a bit past that. BertieB |

| Istria | recommendations in Istria Posted: Tue July 15, 2008 06:51 PM UTC
My travel plans just changed. And now I find that I'd like to spend 6 days in Istria Peninsula. I won't be renting a car and need to get from Zagreb to Istria. Does anyone have suggestions as to what cities/villages I should visit in Istria using a bus as transport? And then after Istria, which village will be the easier so I can get to Zadar? (I heard there is a ferry there from somewhere in Istria but not sure.) many thanks
