Bonjour,
je prepare mes 2 semaines de vacances en Croatie a partir du 23 septembre et j'ai fixe des visites avec deplacements en bus selon cet ordre : Zagreb - Dubrovnik - Split - Zadar - Pula et retour a Zagreb ; seulement voila, de Zadar a Pula (et sens inverse) je n'ai aucun horaire de bus a part un Pula - Zagreb mais encore faut-il que j'arrive a Pula depuis Zadar !
Il semblerait que la solution soit Zagreb - Pula - Rijeka - Zadar et descendre pour les visites mais ce n'est pas l'ordre que je me suis fixe ! J'arrive a l'aeroport de Zagreb, je voudrais prendre le bus directement pour Dubrovnik et remonte jusqu'a Zagreb d'ou je dois repartir en faisant un crochet par Pula.
Quelqu'un a t il une solution, car ca me parait etrange de galerer sur ce "crochet"!
Merci d'avance
Aide toi . . . . (ben oui, y'a pas de suite ; si le ciel t'aide, c'est cadeau!)
Bonjour
Je pars avec des amis bientot en croatie et nous faisons le même voyage que vous mais dans l'autre sens !
j'ai des difficultés à trouver les horaires et les prix des bus. Si vous pouvez me renseigner sur ce point ou savoir comment vous avez fait, ça pourrait m'aider...
Merci d'avance pour votre réponse
Bjr,
Mon message date de l'an dernier mais il semble toujours valable !
Oui , je suis alle en Croatie en septembre 2008 mais je n'ai pas fait Pula/Zadar faute de temps car il y a tellement de jolies choses a voir !
Toutes mes liaisons se sont faites en bus, sauf Paris/Zagreb en avion bien sur !
J'ai privilegie ce moyen car le bus est peu cher, confortable, regulier dans les horaires et les liaisons ont lieu plusiers fois chaque jour. En plus, au moins on voit les jolis paysages sur les trajets ; c'est moins penalisant que de conduire et donc de ne rien voir.
Je suis arrive a l"aeroport de Zagreb ou j'ai passe une nuit? Le lendemain, je suis alle en bus a Dubrovnick (ma plus longue liaison). Ensuite, j'ai fait Dubrovnik/Split puis Split/Zadar et pour finir Zadar/Zagreb.
Je suis reste une douzaine de jours en Croatie et je n'ai pas pu faire et decouvrir tout tellement c'est un petit pays mais tout est a voir !
Je ne vais pas detailler pour le moment mais n'hesitez pas a demander plus de precision.

Bonjour,
merci beaucoup pour votre réponse !
En fait on hésitait à louer une voiture mais j'aurai été la seule à conduire donc je pense que je n'aurai pas profité du paysage !
J'ai régardé plusieurs sites de compagnie de bus et je n'ai pas trouvé les réponses à mes questions. Si cela ne vous dérange pas d'y répondre :
- Nous arrivons à Zagreb en avion, la "gare des bus" se trouve t-elle près de l'aéroport ou dans le centre ?
- Peut-on voyager de nuit pour gagner du temps et éviter de payer une auberge de jeunesse ou autres ?
- Faut-il réserver les bus avant ? ( nous sommes quatres )
- Avez-vous des renseignements sur les trajets et les horaires car je n'y arrive pas à trouver exactement l'information ?
- Etes-vous aller à Plitvice ? et si oui quel bus avez-vous pris ?
Merci d'avance pour votre réponse
Cordialement Charlotte
Bien, je vais essayer de repondre le plus fonctionnellement possible car je sais que c'est important de bien preparer un voyage et de celui-ci, il ne vous restera que des bons souvenirs.
Je suis au bureau donc sans "archives" pour vous renseigner . . mais je vais faire au mieux
En fait on hésitait à louer une voiture mais j'aurai été la seule à conduire donc je pense que je n'aurai pas profité du paysage ! En general dans les pays etrangers je prends les transports en commun, c'est habituellement peu cher et plus securisant sans parler du risque de se faire arnaquer dans le prix de location et la qualite de la voiture et du risque d'accident ce qui devient vite la cata ! J'etais seul dans ce voyage donc si je veux voir les jolis paysages (tous sont jolis) pas d'hesitation, le bus est le moyen de transport ideal ! oui et mille fois oui pour le bus, c'est peu onereux (comme disent les canadiens), c'est confortable, les bagages sont en soute et on paye un petit supplement (on peut garder un sac avec soi), ils sont ponctuels, en general les departs se font toutes les 30 minutes et toute la journee pour les liaison importantes. Ton probleme ? Calculer le cote ou s'assoir pour voir le plus joli paysage selon l'itineraire, c'est tout ! Personnellement, quand j'arrivais a la station de bus (kolodvor je crois en Croate et tu dois pourvoir le dire car tout le monde ne parle pas anglais) je me renseignais sur les horaires de depart pour le lendemain ou le surlendemain.
J'ai régardé plusieurs sites de compagnie de bus et je n'ai pas trouvé les réponses à mes questions. Je vais essayer de retrouver mes renseignements concernant les compagnies de bus et je te dirai ca plus tardSi cela ne vous dérange pas d'y répondre :
- Nous arrivons à Zagreb en avion, la "gare des bus" se trouve t-elle près de l'aéroport ou dans le centre ? Oui il y a la gare des bus qui est a l'aeroport. Je suis arrive assez tard dans la soiree donc j'ai pris un bus qui fait la ligne aeroport/centre ville puis le tram pour rejoindre ma chambre louee depuis la France. Donc a l'aeroport il y a un bus qui attend meme le dernier avion pour conduire les passagers au centre ville.
- Peut-on voyager de nuit pour gagner du temps et éviter de payer une auberge de jeunesse ou autres ? J'ai remarque qu'il y a des bus de nuit, selon certaines destinations. L'avantage c'est que tu peux economiser ta nuit d'hotel et le prix du bus est moins cher que le trajet de jour. Mais ca peut te faire arriver a 5 heures du mat a Dubrovnik par exemple, c'est un choix.
- Faut-il réserver les bus avant ? (nous sommes quatres) La ca depend . . moi, j'y suis alle en septembre et seul donc pas besoin de reserver et puis ca depend aussi de la destination. Deja en septembre c'est correctement desservit donc je pense que l'ete les bus sont multiplies compte tenu de l'affluence des touristes.
- Avez-vous des renseignements sur les trajets et les horaires car je n'y arrive pas à trouver exactement l'information ? Voir plus haut ; je suis au bureau !
- Etes-vous aller à Plitvice ? et si oui quel bus avez-vous pris ? Helas non, ca fait partie de la destination que j'avais envisagee mais je n'ai pas eu le temps.
Si vous desirez, je peux vous communiquer mon nmr de fixe (je suppose que vous avez l'illimite) pour qu'on discute. Sinon, je peux vous donner d'autres renseignements plus complets quand je serai a la maison
Cordialement

On a décidé de se revoir avec mes amis cette semaine pour organiser au mieux notre voyage. Après "cette réunion" je pense que j'aurai des questions plus précises à vous poser.
Les renseignements sur les bus et vos conseils sont toujours bons à prendre !
Merci vraiment pour vos réponses et de me faire profiter de votre expérience !!!
Charlotte
Pas de probleme pour vous communiquer mes renseignements.
Vous ne serez qu'enchantes de ce voyage ; Peut etre qu'avec la pleine saison cela sera un peu different du mien car j'y suis alle en septembre 2008 mais les paysages sont jolis, le cout de la vie est peu eleve si on sait se debrouiller, les gens sont sympas et ouverts : :que du bonheur !
Je vous donne deja mon mail ; ce sera plus pratique si besoin est :

Bonjour,
Je suis à la recherche d’une destination neige en Europe, accessible en voiture en partant de Lille, pas trop cher. Le tout en famille avec deux enfants de 4 et presque 9 ans. On ne skie pas, on veut retrouver l’ambiance noël, pouvoir faire de petites balades, faire de la luge au pied de la porte de la location.
Nous avions pensé à la Slovaquie (Tatras - mais 15h00 de route…) ou à la République Tchèque (plus proche - Mont de Jizera - Korenov). On cherche aussi de la visite (châteaux, monuments…) et cette ambiance de noêl.
Est-ce que vous pensez que la République Tchèque pourrait nous convenir sur une semaine ?
Merci,
Hi there, the island of Limnos (or Lemnos) looks like a great spot for a September trip: not too many tourists at that time, plenty of hiking opportunities, beaches, villages, etc. That said, guidebooks mention an airbase on the island, with some sources saying there are more or less frequent aircraft flyovers. For those who’ve been there—how’s the situation with this? Lots of air traffic or noise issues?
Thanks in advance
I'm currently planning a trip to Cyprus for late October. I have a few questions:
- I plan to visit Nicosia, Paphos, and Ayia Napa. What do you recommend in Ayia Napa?
- Is it easy to get around by bus from one city to another? Or do you have any private drivers to recommend?
- Do you have any hotels to recommend?
Any tips or advice is welcome!
Thanks in advance
Hi! I'm torn between these two destinations. If we go to Crete, we'll probably head to the Chania region and the south, which seems wilder. With 10 days and a car, it should work out. If we choose Sardinia, we haven't figured out the exact area yet. We love hiking, swimming, and eating well. We have 10 days at the end of September and prefer to avoid crowds this year. In May, we went to Menorca and really enjoyed it—great hikes, beautiful beaches, good food, and not too many cars.
Hi,
I'm looking for a private transfer from Istanbul Airport to the historic center of Sirkeci. Does anyone know a company? I've found a few:
GetYourGuide,
Istanbultour24.fr (more interesting because they offer round-trip transfers at a lower price).
If you've used any of these services, I'd love to hear your feedback.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I'm looking for info on the Pristina–Skopje bus route.
Can you leave from the main bus station in Pristina?
I’ve also heard about a bus station near the theater...
If anyone has details, I’d love to hear them—thanks!!!!
We want to book our tickets to visit the Acropolis site and the associated museum. For these reservations, we need to specify entry time slots.
For the Acropolis alone: the first slot is at 8:30 AM.
For the museum: 10 AM? 11 AM?
We like to wander around, so here’s our question: if we haven’t finished exploring the site after 1.5 hours, is it possible to go back in after leaving the museum?
We’ll be buying tickets from the official websites—audio guides are mentioned. Any feedback on those? On sites like Get Your Guide, the prices are much higher with the audio guide included, but does that mean better quality?
Hello,
We're heading to Istanbul from October 7th to 12th. I’d love to do a dinner cruise on the Bosphorus on a more intimate boat (no show) with a private table and alcohol (wine, since it’s a birthday dinner). Could anyone recommend a reliable company (I’m not looking for a private yacht either) that organizes this kind of evening?
Thanks in advance,
Hi, I’d like to buy a ticket to go to Terezín from Prague using the Pid Litacka app, but I don’t know which zone to get the ticket for. Thanks for your help! 😊
Hi there,
After booking an Airbnb last January for this summer’s vacation in Sarajevo... My "host" canceled our reservation without any reason—this has never happened to me before.
Of course, now it’s impossible to find a place to stay at a "normal" price in Sarajevo with parking...
So we’re falling back on the capital of the Republika Srpska, Banja Luka, which had already crossed my mind before I booked Sarajevo.
I already have quite a few ideas in mind, without having dug too deep into the region yet.
But if anyone has already been there and has suggestions? Even for restaurants—I’m all ears!
And even if it’s not right next door, I’m planning to spend a day in Sarajevo!
Hi, I’m going to Turkey for 3 weeks. I’ve heard that you can’t book through Booking.com once you’re there and that everything has to be reserved in advance. Is it true that Booking.com doesn’t work in Turkey? Thanks to anyone who’s already been or is there—if it’s true, how do you handle bookings?
I’d love to get your opinions and advice on a destination.
It’s actually for my 19-year-old son who wants to go to Greece with his cousin, who’s the same age.
They’re looking at leaving on October 24th for 7 to 10 days.
For their trip, they want gorgeous beaches where they can swim, beautiful typical villages and historic cities, stunning landscapes, but also lively spots for their nights out. In short, they’re not just going there to laze around—they want to make the most of it...
But here’s the thing: will the weather be too iffy at that time, especially for swimming?
Also, would Crete be the best choice for what they’re looking for?
Then, a travel agent suggested Tenerife instead because of the weather at that time of year—he said the climate there is the same all year round. But will they find landscapes and beaches as beautiful as in Crete?
Hello!
I’m planning a trip to Greece in May or June 2027. We’re independent travelers.
We’ll rent a car after our stay in Athens and book accommodations through Booking or similar sites.
What do you think of this itinerary? We’re taking our time (beach and swimming if the weather allows in May—is the water too cold?)
Athens, 3 days
Nafplio, 3 days (Mycenae, Epidaurus, Archaia)
Mystras, 2 days or Monemvasia, 2 days (Laconia peninsula)?? Dilemma between the two
Return trip from the Peloponnese via the Rio-Antirrio bridge
Nafpaktos, 1 night
Arachova, 2 days (Delphi, Osios Loukas Monastery)
Return to Athens and departure
Is it crowded in May or June for visits to archaeological sites?
Thanks for your suggestions or corrections!
Hi there,
Our first trip to Greece as a couple. We're planning to spend 7 days in Greece from August 30th to September 5th. We'll reserve 2 days for Athens at the end of the trip. For the remaining 5 days, we want to visit an island—any recommendations? Thanks for your tips and details, we really appreciate it.
Hi,
What tips can you give me for dealing with a car rental scam attempt in Lithuania?
In our case, it’s the Avis-Budget agency in Vilnius trying to scam us.
We rented a car at Vilnius Airport for 2 weeks on July 28, 2019, to return it in Tallinn on August 11.
We brought it back on August 11 at the airport, in perfect condition, and with a full tank at the gas station right by Tallinn Airport.
On the parking lot, the receptionist’s booth was closed. So we had to leave the car in the lot and go to the counter inside the airport. The person at the counter told us their colleague had gone for lunch!
But they refused to come out and do the inspection with us because they were alone at the counter.
They told us we could leave and that everything was fine!!!!
Two days later, we got an email from Avis-Budget with two invoices saying the car was damaged—scratched on both sides—and charging us for a full tank of gas. That’s two bills totaling 800 €!!!! Coincidentally, the deposit was 900 €!
It’s clear this isn’t over!!
Have any of you been through the same nightmare? How did you handle it?
Thanks in advance!
I’m spending 2 weeks in Crete in September and will need a rental car.
I usually go with Europcar, but comparing their offer to what Aegean Rentals has, I see Europcar is charging no less than 400 € more for the same car and similar insurance!
I’d love to hear if others have experience with Aegean Rentals, and if so, whether it was a good one?
Hi,
We’re heading to Greece in early October and will be staying in Kineta, north of the Saronic Gulf, and renting a car.
Is it feasible to visit Acrocorinth, Mycenae, Nafplio, and Epidaurus in a single day?
Thanks for your recommendations!
Hi there!
I’m sharing our itinerary for May/June 2027—23 days. This is our first time in Greece, so we’re starting with the must-see spots. We’re planning another trip later to explore the north, Thessaloniki, Macedonia, and some islands.
- Athens, 4 nights
- Corinth area, 2 nights (Heraion of Perachora, Canal, Acrocorinth)
- Nafplio, 3 nights (Mycenae, Epidaurus, Methana peninsula)
- Gefira, 2 nights (Monemvasia)
- Areopoli, 2 nights (Mani). Maybe add an extra night and stay on the peninsula??? Based on my calculations, the Mani loop is about 100 km—doable in a day, but it’d be a quick trip.
- Sparta or Pikoulianika, 2 nights (Mystras)
- Dimitsana, 2 nights (Lousios Gorge, monasteries)
- Olympia, 2 nights (via Lagkadia?)
- Delphi or Arachova, 3 nights (via the west coast, Galaxidi bridge) (Delphi, Hosios Loukas Monastery)
- And back to Athens.
This is just a rough draft for now. We’re planning to stay in hotels or book through Booking.com. What do you think? Thanks for your feedback and suggestions!
Over the past twenty-five years, I’ve traveled the roads between France and Moldova a good ten times, sometimes via Central Europe, other times via the Balkans.
It was while traveling like this—what I call "hitting the road the slow way"—that I realized something simple: our neighbors' neighbors are very clearly our neighbors too. And that’s not insignificant.
After a break of a few years, I’m planning to hit the road again in September, this time heading to Kosovo, crossing through Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Having gotten a bit older, I’ve no intention of rushing—no need to speed ahead of the music! 😄
I’d rather take my time.
I’m not looking to see everything, but to soak in the atmosphere of the places, always leaving room for the unexpected and for encounters.
I’m especially drawn to culturally immersive, authentic, and welcoming regions: lively villages, backroads, preserved landscapes, markets, local festivals, traditions that are still very much alive... and, why not, a few offbeat, forgotten, or slightly secret spots.
If any of you know Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, or Kosovo a little, I’d love to hear your suggestions for itineraries, stops, backroads, homestays, village festivals, or local contacts, for example.
Planning to return to Belarus in mid-August, I just realized that since last September, Poland has reopened several border crossing points, and for buses, this means connections like Białystok-Grodno.
Several bus company routes, like on infobus.eu, take between 3 and 4 hours.
Trains from Warsaw to Białystok take about 1.5 to 2 hours.
This has the advantage of allowing comfortable train journeys with minimal time spent on a bus.
Also, the Terespol-Brest border might have shorter queues if you still prefer a Warsaw-Brest bus.
Note that another route to Minsk, if you have a paper Russian or Belarusian visa, is the Kaliningrad-Minsk train. It’s long—around ten or eleven hours—but you can lie down and sleep. An option if you fly into Gdańsk and then take a short bus to Kaliningrad.
There are also Belavia flights from Minsk to Kaliningrad, but they’re expensive. The route is scenic:
In any case, this adds a few more options compared to what’s been available over the last four years.
Hi there.
I’d like to know what the daily budget is for Greece in December. I’ll be landing in Athens and staying there for a week, then heading to some other islands—I don’t have a set itinerary yet. Also, I’ve heard that in December, or early January, the temperature is around 11–16°C. Is that accurate?
Finally, does anyone have a good recommendation for a cheap but clean hotel near the tourist sites? I don’t need a TV or any other extras. Also, is Greece gay-friendly?
I’d like to know the opening hours of physical stores between Germany and Austria, and between Austria and Slovenia, that sell the PAPER STICKER toll vignettes that still exist for 2026—non-digital ones. I don’t think they’re open 24/7, and I can’t find the info anywhere.
Thanks
Hi there,
We’re planning a 3-week trip in late September with our camper van to explore Bulgaria and Romania.
What routes would you recommend, starting from the South?
Is there an option to take a ferry in Italy, and is it worth it?
Thanks for all your tips!😊
Hi there, we’re a young couple and we’d love to go to the Blue Eye (Syri i Kalter) between today (26/06/26) and tomorrow (27/06/26).
Is anyone heading there and could give us a ride? We’re super friendly!
Thanks so much!
We're back. It's still a bit tough to get precise info, so here's a quick trip report!
A good starting point is Shkoder, a really pleasant city. You can easily explore Shkoder itself in a day or two.
Two accessible spots: Valbona and Theth.
In both cases, local travel agencies in Shkoder or online offer round-trip or one-way access packages. Super handy, especially for Valbona.
Valbona and Theth are both very steep! There aren’t many easy hikes for less sporty folks (like me!).
Valbona: The highlight is the amazing 2.5-hour boat ride across Lake Koman. There are day trips from Shkoder, but you’ll only get a short tour of the lake. The best option is to do the full crossing—so spend a night in Valbona (or two if you want to hike in the valley) and return.
Theth is deeply nestled in the mountains. The village at the end of the valley, which is a dead end, has lots of hotels, but they’re pricey. Other hostels are scattered along the mountainside road, but it’s a steep climb down to the village or to the start of the two easy hikes (waterfalls and the Blue Eye). For us, it was a one-hour descent (and ascent!). It’s fine if you have a car; otherwise, keep an eye out for a taxi (cheap) or try hitchhiking—it works really well.
Access from Shkoder to Theth is through an agency. The road is in great condition, and you can also rent a car for 2-3 days in Shkoder. If we did it again, that’s the option we’d choose.
We didn’t do the trek and returned to Shkoder each time. I can’t speak to its difficulty, but we were there in late May, and even experienced hikers had given up because of heavy rain and snow.
Hope this helps! It’s a stunning region you shouldn’t miss.
We’re a Canadian couple, both 77, and we’re already planning our vacation for fall 2027.
Timeframe: mid-September to mid-October... dates are flexible, and we might stay even longer.
Initially, I had planned this itinerary:
Athens (3), Naxos (4), Paros (4), Santorini (4), then a flight to Istanbul (7–10 days!!). This would let us maximize our flights and experience another culture.
That’s a lot of ferries, though... I’ve already cut out Milos.
Our second option would be to stay 2 x 15 days on two different islands, but I’d still keep Istanbul as our next destination... or maybe 30 days on one island that offers the chance to take day trips to other islands where the ferry ride is no more than 2 to 2.5 hours. For example, Naxos to Paros only takes 30 minutes. We could return the same evening or stay overnight.
Naxos seems like the best option!!!
For Istanbul, of course we want to do a day cruise on the Bosphorus and see Hagia Sophia. If we stay 6–7 days, what would be the other main attractions? Are there any points of interest we can reach by local bus?
