Getting to Pula from Plitvice lakes

[direkafka]

Ahoy!

Does anyone know now to get to PULA from Plitvice?

I planned to look around Plitvice lakes, then go to Pula as a next destination.

I heard people get around places with busses mostly, so I reckon there must be a bus from the lakes to Pula... Is that so? If so, how and where can I?



Please help me!

Hi,

From Plitvice you can take the bus to Karlovac. This takes between 1:30 Hr and 1:10 hr (depending on stops and route)
From Karlovac to Pula : 3:05 hr to 4:20 hr. also depending on route and stops.
But there must be some 'tourist' buses who drive from PL directly to Rijeka(Opatija), this could be some shorter route.
Bus schedule here : www.akz.hr/default.aspx?id=261
Try auto-stop ?
Think about this : even with yout own car it takse some 4 hrs traveling. Best route is over Karlovac and from there highway. 306 km. (190 miles)

Bus to Karlovac, to Rijeka and to Pula. A few changes but easy enough journey, have a snack in Rijeka.
