Croatia: Ferries
Jadrolinija ( www.jadrolinija.tel.hr ) operate ferry services down the coast on the Rijeka-Zadar-Split-Korcula-Dubrovnik route at least once a day in both directions between June and August, and two or three times weekly for the rest of the year. Rijeka to Dubrovnik is a 22-hour journey, involving one night on the boat. In addition, ferries link Split with the islands of Brac, Hvar, Vis and Korcula. Ferries are also a good way of moving on from Croatia, with connections to Italy (Split and Zadar to Ancona, Pula and Brioni to Trieste and Dubrovnik to Bari) and Greece (Dubrovnik to Igoumenitsa).Prices (often quoted in dollars or Deutschmarks, but payable in kuna) are reasonable for short trips: for example, Split to Hvar costs around $4. For longer journeys, prices vary greatly according to the level of comfort you require. The cheapest Rijeka-Dubrovnik fare, in high season (July-Sept), is $29, while you'll pay double that for a couchette-style bunk bed, and three times more for a bed in a well-appointed cabin (breakfast included); taking a car on the same journey costs an extra $88, $29 for a motorbike, but bicycles travel free of charge. Book in advance for longer journeys wherever possible; addresses and phone numbers are provided in the text where relevant.
