Ferries from Venice to Croatia: Summer Timetables Issued
February 1st 2008 10:27 am
What could be nicer than starting in Venice and then meandering down the Croatian coast? The medieval Venetians liked it so much they decided to stay a few hundred years. If you have somewhat less time to visit Croatia, you’ll appreciate the fast passenger ferries that whisk you from Venice to a number of Istrian towns and as far south as Mali Losinj. (See schedules and online booking)
The Venice to Istria catamarans have been operating for several summers now and it’s good to see that the 2008 timetables show more frequent ferries and the routes are starting earlier (from the beginning of April) and ending later (October 18 is the last run). Pula and Rabac are especially well-served this year.
As the boats from Istria often leave in the morning, it’s also convenient to take a day trip to Venice from Rovinj or Porec.
The only problem with these routes is that they make poor starting points for visiting the southern Croatian coast. There was once a ferry connection from Pula to Mali Losinj to Zadar but there’s no word if or when it will start again this year. And the popular Venice to Split ferry of a few years ago seems to have been relegated to the mists of history.
