Getting Around Croatia
Croatia is a relatively small country—similar in size to Switzerland—with over 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of coastline along the Adriatic Sea. Most travelers either rent a car or hire a private driver for the duration of their stay, given the roads are well-maintained and in great condition—and one-way drop-off fees are quite affordable.
By sea, you have a variety of options, ranging from public ferries, private boat charters, or small-ship cruises. Keep in mind, however, that transport between the islands is quite limited during the winter months (November to April), given many services for tourists are closed. See our article on getting from Hvar to Brač Island for an example of ferry and private boat options.
