ARRIVING BY AIR
Best airport is Pula, followed by Trieste and Ljubljana. Intercontinental flights will arrive to Venice and Zagreb, from which transfers can be arranged if required.
Flight information can change rapidly, and not all flights run daily. Please do check for yourself directly with the airlines' websites before finalising any booking with us and do not book your flights until we have confirmed that we have provisionally reserved accommodation for you.
We do not recommend airport transfers by public transport on this route.
