How to get to island
TRAVELLING BY CAR
-
Motorway Villach-Ljubljana-Split (or the end of the Highway) *,
then further on by coastal ferry to Split, Drvenik, Ploce or Orebic.
Local ferries cannot be booked in advance, the ticket is obtained directly in the port before departure
Advice (tip): Do not drive to Zagreb but take a shortcut via Karlovac. Thus you save kilometres and time, first of all at the border.
*Highway to Split is completed, the section to Split (30 km to Sestanovac) should be completed by June 2006.
-
A2. Motorway Villach-Ljubljana-Postojna, highway towards Rijeka,
Coastal ferry towards Korcula with the overnight on board. Reservations through
www.jadrolinija.hr or in a travel agency.
FAQ
-
Which ferry port on the mainland to take? (We thought of Split as this is the end of the Motorway).
You do not have to decide finally yet. It depends at which time of the day you arrive in front of Split. If you can catch the appropriate ferry then drive to Split, otherwise it is better to go directly towards Drvenik or Ploce. If you decide for the ferry from Ploce to Trpanj, then you have to drive another 20 km by the local road on the peninsula of Peljesac and then take the ferry from Orebic to Korcula (Domince).
If there are many vehicles, then the ferry from Orebic drives non-stop (appr. Every 30 minutes).
Which arrival ports on Korcula to chose (Would Vela Luka would be OK or it is too far?)
The road from Vela Luka to the town of Korcula is good, 50 km or appr. 45 minutes.
How long (on the basis of experience) does the drive by car to Split last?
From Ljubljana to Split about 5 hours - on the motorway Zagreb-Split the traffic is of low density, but it is difficult to forecast during the high season. In any case, it is better to chose the shortcut via Karlovac in order to save kilometres and time and also because of the border as there are not trucks there so that practically there are no jams.
