Most UK visitors arrive in the summer months, heading for a string of popular beach resorts long the Adriatic coast.
Most flights from the UK are seasonal, with few airlines maintaining routes outside the summer beach holiday months. Recent years have seen economical seasonal flights with low-cost airline EasyJet. You may also find summer flights with airlines like Jet2.com and Wizz Air. At present, the most economical service is usually with EasyJet or Croatia Airlines.
