Croatia’s national ferry operator, Jadrolinija, has issued a new set of timetables for local ferries valid only through the month of January. I’ve been using Jadrolinija schedules for many years and, I have to say, I have never seen such a delay in publishing the local ferry schedules. Usually the spring schedules are official by November, at the latest. Now we have to wait and wait. What’s the problem? I don’t know. Especially when other ferry companies have already put out their summer schedules. The convenient “Nona Ana” catamaran that runs from Dubrovnik to Mljet, Lastovo, Sipan and Korcula already has 2010 timetables through August. Check it out here!

Meanwhile you can start to plan your forthcoming travel by checking out:

• local ferries from Split
• local ferries from Dubrovnik
• local ferries from Hvar

Let others head to the Dalmatian coast. Dare to be different! Now it’s getting easier to explore the untouristed eastern part of Croatia with Ryanair’s new route from Frankfurt to Osijek.

Located in Osijek-Baranjska county in Slavonia,  Osijek is interesting to visit for its “Tvrda” (fortress), its spicy cuisine and its pleasant promenade along the Drava river. It also makes a good base to visit the unique Kopacki Rit Nature Park and tragic Vukovar.

Flights are Wednesday and Sunday and start 6 May.
