Visa and travel information for Croatia

The arrival day is Saturday the 25^th of May 2013 in Mali Losinj if you are attending the teacher's training, and the departure is scheduled for Saturday the 15^th of June leaving by Catamaran to Rijeka from where you can take your flight back to London or elsewhere. If you are coming for yoga holidays than the arrival date is the 15th of June and departure is on the 22nd of June.

If you are travelling from London you can get a direct flight to Rijeka with Croatia Airlines. You may visit their website to check the dates and prices:

There is a Catamaran commuting daily between Rijeka and Mali Losinj several times. The last one goes at about 18.30 in the evening. 

There is also a Catamaran leaving from Pula and Zadar to Mali Losinj.

If you are arriving in Mali Losinj on the 25^th of May or the 15th of June respectively with the last Catamaran (either from Rijeka or Zadar), we will organise a pick up for you. Please let us know if you are arriving at some other time of the day. 

The Catamaran from Rijeka is £10 one way.

Another option would be to take a flight to Zagreb and then travel by bus directly to Mali Losinj. This is easy, since the airliner bus leaves you right at the bus terminal from where you can buy your bus ticket and also take the bus to Mali Losinj. The bus ticket from Zagreb to Mali Losinj costs about  £20 one way.

If you are flying to Zagreb and taking a bus from there (or an onward flight to Rijeka), please, check the following websites for flights:

If you prefer not to fly you might consider the following option:

A winning combination of trains and boats and no planes, but you’ll need to make sure you get your timings right as the ferry only runs a couple of times a week. First travel from London to Bari in Italy (Eurostar to Paris, the overnight sleeper train to Bologna and a fast train on to Bari) and then sail from Bari to Croatia, where you can depart at your pick of several destinations including Dubrovnik, Split and Rijeka.
Travel costs: Trains from London to Bari from £180 return, Ferry from Bari to Croatia from £36

Please, check with the Croatian Embassy in your respective country whether or not you are required to obtain a visa for Croatia.

• Yoga mat: We do have loan mats that you can use, however it is always nice to have your own.
• Money: It is best to exchange cash to Kuna, the Croatian currency, at the airport, and  there are also ATMs within a 15 minute drive in downtown Mali Losinj. You would want to have some funds on your arrival, which you can purchase at your airport of departure. For the up to date exchange rate see www.xe.com
