Overview

The guide was updated: 2025-03-24

In Croatia pharmacists sell over-the-counter medicines for minor illnesses, but for more serious problems you will need a prescription that can be issued by a private doctor or filled by "Ljekarna", the equivalent of a pharmacy and easily recognisable by the lit green "+" sign. In most cases pharmacists do accept the prescription even if it is issued abroad. Some pharmacies in Vodice are to be found in: Ul. Bribirskih knezova 18, Vodice +385 22 444 569 ULICA ROCA PAVE 6, Vodice +385 22 443 168

Airports

Airports

The nearest airports are located in Zadar (Zadar-Zemunik Airport), 60km from Vodice and in Split (Split Airport), 80km from Vodice. There are different transfer companies that operate from and to Vodice. There are three routes from Zadar airport and, depending on which one you choose, the duration of the journey changes too.

Passport & Visa

Passport & Visa

Citizens of European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries do not need a visa to enter Croatia, only a valid ID. Many other countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Australia, and New Zealand, benefit from visa-free entry for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Visitors from visa-exempt countries must hold a valid passport and, starting in late 2025, will need to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) authorisation online before travelling. For those requiring a visa, such as travellers from some Middle-East, African or Asian nations, a Schengen visa must be obtained prior to arrival. All travellers should ensure their passport is valid for at least three months beyond their intended stay.

Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

If you're planning to visit Vodice to take full advantage of swimming in the pristine waters of the Adriatic Sea, the very warmest months are June, July and August, but take into account that these are also the busiest months of the year. The perfect months to avoid the tourist masses are probably the shoulder months (May and September) when the temperatures are warm enough for sunbathing and swimming and the city isn't that crowded.
