For many years, the Adriatic Sea has been nicknamed the 'Slovak Sea'. What attracts Slovaks is not only its accessibility, but above all the clear water and beautiful beaches. It is the main reason why Slovak vacationers - of which there were half a million last year - like to returning Croatia.
If you are planning on travelling there again this year, and thinking about which means of transport or which route to choose and how much it will cost you, we've got you covered.
The largest city in Dalmatia is Split. Compared to the capital Zagreb, it is right beside the sea and has a well-developed infrastructure. This means that you can get there from Slovakia not only by car, but also plane, train or bus.
During the summer season, buses, trains and planes are considerably boosted. At the same time, they are more affordable and their number makes trip planning easier.
The prices below are given as an example per person, including the cost of the return trip. However, the prices of plane, train and bus tickets are dynamic, meaning that they change depending on demand and the time of departure for vacation.
By car
Duration: 8 hours
Price: €195.31 per person, €97.66 for two people
Obviously, a car is the most flexible means of transport, allowing you to decide when to leave, where to take a break along the way, which route to choose or whether to stop by interesting points. As with a bus, the biggest risk is long jams.
In addition to highway tolls, the main part of expenses is fuel. Nowadays, you can get from Bratislava to Split on one tank of fuel even with a small car. When travelling through Hungary, the distance is 762 kilometres.
