  1. Hi there,
    I noticed you said there is a flight you can get from Hvar to Pag. What website would I go to so as to make this booking? Thank you

    • Hi Veronika, I can’t remember seeing a ATM for EURO and $ dispenser, in the Split Airport, so I would guess there is also non in the Zadar Airport.

      Brgds, Morten

  2. Dear sir, madam,

    Who can I contact regarding transfers from Zadar Airport to the island Murter (aci Jazera, near Tisno)?

    Kind regards,
    Ilse

  3. Hi,
    Me and one other friend will be arriving in Zadar on Monday 11th of July at 14.30 and we want to get to Novalja the cheapest way possible, could you please advise us on how to do this? We would then want to get from Novalja to Sibenik on the 16th of July? Thanks for all your help!

    Helena Crawshaw

    • Hi Helena, Novalja is not so easy to reach, first you will have to take bus from Airport to Zadar bus station, here you need to take bus to Island Pag, as far as i remember there is only a few daily busses to Novalja.

      To Sibenik you go same way back to Zadar, and take bus to Sibenik

  4. Hi, fly into Zadar airport at 2200hrs on Thursday 7th July.

    Could you tell me (roughly) how much a taxi ride to Petrcane would be?

  5. hi myself my girlfriend and her daughter will be landing at zadar airport on wednesday 16th May 2012 at 2030 could you please tell me the easiest and/or the cheapest way to get to the borik campsites near zadar, thanks

    • Hi Jon,

      two options, 1. take the Airport bus to main bus station or to old town in Zadar, from there you take city bus to Borik, price per person around 40 kuna, total 120.

      2. Taxi from the Airport to Borik, as Borik is on opposite site of town compared to airport, i think you should count on price slightly less then 200 kuna, but as the taxi driver when you get there.

      Best, Morten

  6. Bonjour,

    Nous arrivons à Zadar aéroport, le 19 mai .
    Nous nous sommes renseigné sur les prix des taxi et les compagnies nous annonces 40 € pour aller jusque ZATON HOLIDAY RESSORT.

    Le prix vous semble raisonnable? Y a t’il un moyen de transport moins cher ( bus?navette?)

    Merci d’avance

  7. Hi.. I’m traveling from zadar airport to split, so it’s with a bus right? But where to find the bus farm zadar til split and what is the price ?

  8. Hi, I’m arriving into Zadar airport at 9pm on 26 July. I need to get to Sibenik straight away. Can you tell me the best way besides a taxi?

  9. Howdy Hi Hi,

    Will be landing in Zadar in August.Our flight gets in at 20.30.We were hoping to rent a car.
    However it appears that the time for the latest car rental pick up is 20.30.Obviously this wont be possible by the time we get off the plane and bags collect etc..

    Is this the case for all car rentals?Its 50 50 with online car rental companies.Some are saying it closes at 21.00hrs and last pick up is 20.30 and other appear to be allowing to book.

    Slightly confused.

    Many Thanks in advance

    Hannah

  10. i there, I will arrive in Zadar airport on wednesday at 8.30PM, I want to go to Novalja. What is the cheapest way to do that ? Shall I take a taxi ?

    • Hi Marlene

      unfortunaltly you will not be able to catch a bus to Novalja at that time of day, so you will have to take a taxi or arrange for a pre booked transfer. Make sure to get a fix price for the trip.

      Brgds,

      Morten

  11. Hello,

  12. hi

    many thanks

  13. hi, me and a few friends (total being 7) are coming to croatia in august.
    we are flying to zadar airport and are staying in the town of biograd. we were wondering what is the best/cheapest way of getting there.

    • Hi Jake,

      The proberly cheapest option is to take airport bus to Zadar and then catch a local bus to Biograd from the main bus station. As you are 7 you could also consider prebook transfer, would be a bit more expencive, but it the easist way of travelling.

      Best, Morten

  14. We travel to Zadar airport with Ryanair at 11.00am 15 April. How do we reach Starigrad? We return from Starigrad on Sat 20 April to stay at Hotel Donat, how do we get there? And what time are buses?
    Thanks

    • Hi Mary,

      first you have to take the airport bus to Zadar main bus station, from there you have a handfull of daily buses, there shold be one at 1.30 pm which you should be able to catch.

      For the return take bus back to Zadar main station, and take a city bus to where Hotel Donat is. City bus drive all day, so just check in Starigrad, when the bus to Zadar leaves.

      Kindest regards, Morten

  15. Hello,

    My wife and I are landing at Zadar Airport and are staying in the Zadar city center. What is the best way to get there? Taxi or shuttle or etc.. What would the approximate cost be? And do we need to make any type of reservation for that?

    Thanks for your time,
    Zachary H

  16. Hi,

    We are flying into Dubrovnik and out of Zadar, We will have 3/4 nights for an Island stop after Hvar and would like if possible to take a ferry/catamaran from Hvar to this island (Paj? or one not too far from Zadar)?

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Louise

    • Hi Louise, there is no ferry from Hvar to Island Pag, you will have to go back to Split, and then take bus Split – Zadar – Pag.

      Other options is Islands Ugljan or Pasman, which are reachable with ferry from Zadar.

      Brgds, Morten

      • Ok thanks so is there nowhere Nice I can get to from hvar which would be en route to Zadar without going back to the mainland?

  17. Hi!

    I am flying to Zadar and staying in Novalja. Decided that the easiest way to get to Novalja is via a bus, but for getting back I am a bit stuck!

    The problem is we are flying from Zadar back home at 6:30 in the morning, therefore need to be at the airport for around 5am, from Novalja this isn’t the easiest!

    What is the best method to make this trip?

    Thanks!

    • Hi Matthew,

      well it really isn’t the easiest! The only thing you could do is take a taxi but this will cost you around 100 euros; also, you could go to Zadar one day earlier, spend a night there and then go to the airport. There is no other solution, unfortunately.

      Best,
      Morten

  18. Hi Morten
    Im flying to zadar in august and my arrival time is 19:30 and i must heading to novalja!
    what you think ?can i reach the last bus or no ?can u help me ?
    thank you

    • Hi ReZz,

      I think that is going to be more or less impossible, unless your plane arrive early. With at taxi from the airport it will take you 15-20 minutes to get to the bus station.

      Brgds, Morten
