Flights  and airport transfers to Croatia from Ireland and the UK for 2008.

As Croatia has a very good range of flight options, all of our holidays exclude flights, so that people can book these themselves. This allows for for maximum flexibility, and you get the best prices, with flights to Split or Zadar often available from London or Dublin for under £100/145€. To assist you with flights  we have prepared the table below showing all the direct flights from the UK and Ireland to Split and to Zadar, that are currently available and that we are aware of, and we include links direct to the relevant airlines.

We can still offer flight inclusive packages from the UK, with flights usually costing between £175 and £275 per person. Anybody requiring these can request them at the time of booking.

For Airport transfers then, we can still provide these on a per person shared basis, using a combination of minibuses, taxis or coaches as required. Please note that as we may be combining people from different flights a wait of up to 60 minutes may be necessary. Alternative transfers are available on request.

• From Split Airport to Murter return £35 or 45€ . The distance is 60 miles and takes about 75 to 90 minutes.

• From Zadar Airport to Murter return £35 or 45€. The distance is 50 miles and takes about 60 to 70 minutes.

Before searching for flights, please note the following

• all Bareboat charters, Flotillas and Learn to Sail Holidays start on Saturday afternoons, but you do not normally sail until Sunday morning, so any Saturday to Saturday flight is ok for a simple one week holiday.

• Mid week flights are often much cheaper, so if you have the time, it is often well worth considering spending a few days on either side of a sailing week just having a conventional holiday in Croatia and we are happy to provide advice and suggestions on request. For sample accommodation and sailing packages using Wednesday flights please see here

• The nearest  International airports in Croatia to our base on Murter are Split (60 miles) and Zadar (40 miles).

Flights to Dubrovnik, Pula & Zagreb from UK and Ireland for 2008

None of the above airports are near enough to our flotilla base on Murter to provide easy transfers from the airport. They are all however ideal if you are taking a bareboat charter from a port near that particular airport (for most of the season yachts are available on Saturday's only) or combining a sailing trip from Murter with some traveling around in Croatia either before or after the sailing. The following is therefore a list of the main low cost, scheduled and charter flights that we are aware of, but this list is not complete, so please also check with your local departure airport for alternative flights..
