All international ferries TO Croatia originate in Italy from a handful of Italian ports: Ancona, Bari, Venice Trieste, Pescara and, depending on the season, Rimini and ports in the Emilia Romagna region. (Ferries AROUND Croatia connect the Croatian islands with the coast. See more on Croatia local ferries)

Naturally, there are far more ferries between Italy and Croatia in the summer. Each year a handful of ferry companies to Croatia issue their new schedules and routes for the summer season but some don't issue their schedules until March. Most of the expanded services start around April or May but some are July and August only. The season ends in September or mid- October. Note that not all the 2012 schedules are available.

Ancona	CAR FERRIES to Split and Zadar (year round; see 2012 schedule) CAR FERRIES to Hvar (summer only; see 2011 schedule)

Korcula-Orebic Catamaran Cancelled
Many is the time I’ve taken the convenient passenger boat that runs daily from Orebic to Korcula. Unlike the car ferry that runs from Orebic to Domince, this boat left you off right in Korcula town, a boon for the carless. That connection has just been cancelled. The company that runs the line, Mediteranska Plovidba, [...]more info
