To access the rolling hills and pine-clad coastline of the Istrian peninsula, meanwhile, it’s best to fly direct to Pula (PUY).

Other international airports in Croatia include Rijeka (RJK) – a handy launchpad for the lovely islands of the Kvarner Gulf – and the buzzing university town of Osijek (OSI). During the summer, connecting flights also touch down on the island of Brac (BWK), which is home to Croatia’s most famous beach – Zlatni Rat.
