Looking for Croatia public transport advice from a Croatian resident

[Elliot B.]

I was told Croatia has some amazing beaches to visit in the summer so I booked some flights to the capital before even really looking to see how far it was from the coast. Turns out Zagreb is very inland :p

 

I will arrive at Zagreb at 4:35pm on a Friday afternoon and depart from Zagreb at 2:40pm on the following Monday, so I have a few days to spare. I also haven't booked any hostels yet, which also helps.

 

So, are there any buses/trains/coaches from Zagreb to a nice beach? Preferably, the beach would be next to a city or busy other location so I can do some sightseeing :)

 

Cheers, guys and gals!

 

EDIT: Just done some basic research using Google Maps and from Zabreg to these places, by car (which are quicker than buses/coaches), these are the travel times:

 

Split: Around 5h
Hvar: Around 6h-7h
Dubrovnik: Around 6.5h-8h

 

I think I'll have to stay in Zagreb :/ I can fly closer to the beaches next summer!
