My friend and I are visiting Split, arriving by train in the morning of Wednesday the 28th October, and hopefully have at least two days or maybe three days leaving by ferry or train on either Thursday or Friday (29th or 30th).

Both of us enjoy train travel, good (local) food and beer, and maybe meet up with local people for a walking tour.

We are staying in a hostel.

What would you recommend for a good day out by train please.

Puna hvala

Will be in Venice for conference on October 22nd. Any way to travel by boat, catamaran, or high speed boat between the two areas? Suggestions for this travel?

Also, have alwyas, always wanted to visit Croatia, what suggestions on food, fun (am single male age 36) and good beaches....

Thanks! Josef

Hi all, I wanted to ask some advice on how to get to Split from Zagreb. Would it be cheaper and faster with the train? Are there trips every hour? If I were to arrive in Split, is it near the City Center?

What are the best areas in the city center can one stay where it is charming, quiet and scenic?

If you have any recommendations to websites to pensions/hostels or B&B's which is less than 50 Euros per night, that would be great!

Thank you for the help!

Hi, we will travel from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik then to Montenegro next week by rental car.
We surely want to see Hvar and Korcula.
What itinerary would you suggest? Go first to Dubrovnik and leave the car there and use catamaran? or take the car and use ferries?
Is there any other way to go to the islands coming from Sarajevo?
Thx.
Sebla

It would appear that Jadrolinja stops their catamaran service between Split and Hvar on 30 September. Since I have been unable to get hold of Jarolinja by phone, I was wondering if anyone knew of any other way of travelling between Split and Hvar in mid-October.

Many thanks

Hi am very confused!

I'm looking to travel from Split to Hvar on 28th September ideally returning on 1st October. Ideally I'd like to go directly to Dubrovnik (on ferry) on 1st but I don't think I can do that. The ferry website has really confused me. There doesn't seem to be any Ferry's on 1st october to split?

Can anyone help?

I'm trying to find info on Split Mad Night. Supposedly it's a night of live music on the Riva in mid-September.

Does anyone know the exact date of this event? Has anyone been in past years? (assuming it's an annual event).

Thanks!

Hey Im coming to Makarska for a few weeks in August, looking to chill and chat with some folks.

Are any of the hotels in Jelsa being refurbished anytime soon. Does anyone know what the Pinus Apartments are like, and are they walking distance into town

We are off to ciovo in august and wondered how frequent the ferries are from Split to hvar for a day trip. Is it best to take the car or go as a foot passenger. Any particular ferry to use ? thanks a lot Anne and Gav, Dundee

I'm hoping to take a one week holiday in September, and would like to visit Croatia.

How much would I spend in terms of accomodation and food/drink costs? i would probably stay in lower end accomodation.

I'd also like to visit one or two of the nearby islands. Any recommendations for where to go, what to see, where to stay?

can anyone help?

Many thanks,

Steve

thanks

My boyfriend and I are in Croatia in early September and we would like to spend 7 nights on Hvar and also maybe Brac or another island.

We are in our 30s, we love nature, the sea, snorkelling, and eating out. We're thinking Hvar town sounds a bit too "party" for us (we don't want a holiday centered on clubs, yachts and cocktails) but we'd like somewhere that is beautiful, interesting and has at least 2 or 3 restaurants and shops (ie minimarkets). We will be hiring a car to explore the rest of the island. (We stayed in Sali on Dugi Otok last year and we loved it, to give you an idea of our kind of place.) Zavala looks like it could be the place but I'm wondering if it is too sleepy?

Also wondering whether we should spend half the week Hvar and half the week on Brac, or somewhere else like Vis. Really want to see Brac but we would have to get the car ferry back to Split then to Brac again and we want to have a nice relaxing week. If we took a day trip on the catamaran from Hvar to Brac is it easy to get around without a car? And where on Brac would you suggest heading for (quite fancy Zlatni Rat but I bet it's v touristy?)

I know I have asked a lot of questions here but I would really appreciate any advice or suggestions you can give.

Thank you
Amber

Hello...

Can anyone give me an idea of how much are items priced in kuna ie postcards, a can of coke, etc just so I have an idea of the prices. Do the stores only accept kuna? How far is the port where the cruise ships are docked if you were to go to ' Riva '? Are the shops around this area open on Sundays?

Appreciate your info.

Thanks.

Hello

I am planning on booking the ferry from Stari Grad to Dubrovnik which leaves early on the Saturday morning, however would like to stay in Hvar Town, so need to be able to travel from Hvar Town to Stari Grad early in the morning.

Does anybody know when the earliest bus from Hvar Town to Stari Grad is? Or how much a taxi would cost as another possible option?

Thanks

Hi there!

Thank you :)

My fiance and I are traveling to Croatia the end of July for our Honeymoon. Should we stay in Split or Trogir? I have heard that Split is more "touristy," which could be good or bad. We will visit both (we are renting a car), but I am trying to decide which city would be a better as "home base" and which would be better as a day trip.

hi,
I have been searching online for quite a while but little info was offered!

Also, unfortunately I need to head back to split after only 1 day in hvar, what is the earliest ferry from hvar town or any other port so that I may be back in split by 8am? =)
any advise is appreciated!

Am flying into split on 23rd july. We wanted to spend a few nights in Split and surrounding islands then get to venice a week later. How can we get to Venice? Can we get a ferry from Split or what is the best way of traveling to venice?

Hello, we are arriving in Stari Grad in July for a week. I am finding it difficult to rent a car online with argus rentals and nova. will we be able to do this once we arrive??thank you!

I fly into Dubrovnik on Friday night and need to get to Hvar sometime Saturday. I am finding the ferry schedules quite confusing. What are my options this Saturday (excluding driving)?

Thank you for your help!!

Dear all,
I would like to know if, with exception of Zlatni Rat and Murvica, there are other nice secluded beaches on Brac. I don't mind if they are difficult to be reached...but the most important thing is crystal clear seawater and wild nature.

thanks in advance !!
