Did anyone drive from Zadar to Krka??

I am curious, is it possible to stay in Zadar and take a bus, drive, or cab to Krka?

Any agency worth its salts should have regular trips to the Krka falls from Zadar. It is possible by bus but not that easy so an organised trip would be better.

We made this drive 2 weeks ago (Split-Zadar-Skradin/Krka) as part of a longer trip. Driving is easy. The toughest part was getting out of Zadar- our own fault, we were coming from the NW and didn%26#39;t have a map. As you leave town, follow the signs to the new toll autoroute A1. Beautiful road. Took a little over an hour. We stayed in Skradin and walked to the falls and through the park. Would absolutely recommend it. If you can, stay overnight in Skradin, a very nice little town.

Awesome, thanks for the response. I am traveling with another young girl. Did you feel safe? Would you recommend some hotels? And oh, I see you are from Canada also, how comfortable were you with driving in Croatia? THANKS!

I felt safe the entire time in Croatia-- probably the safest-feeling (and cleanest) country I%26#39;ve been to. We were on several islands and up and down the coast and never had anyone bother us for anything. The driving was fine. The A1 is beautiful and the regional roads are also very good (like Europe, in general). Of course,the signage is different from North America but we figured it out pretty quickly. Get a good map (the one from Hertz was ok) and pay attention to the direction you want to head because the turn-offs come quickly. I recommend Hotel Skradinski Buk in Skradin. Definitely go to the falls (and swim, if warm enough). Walk there from Skradin if you%26#39;d like an hour%26#39;s hike. If not, take the boat. We also went to the monastery at Visovac and drove through some very poignant countryside to see the Orthodox Serbian monastery outside of Kistanje. In retrospect, I would have liked more time in this area of the country.
