View Krkto Pula, Croatia in a larger map 25 June 2012: We drove to the ferry port and crossed to the neighbouring island of Cres. From there we decided to go directly to the mainland, the peninsular of Istria and we followed the signs to the ferry up and up another never ending mountain road until we started the steep descent which seemed to take forever. It is amazing what a straight line on a map can mean. However the ferries were very efficient and easy to use, run by Jadrolinja and cost us €34 per crossing. We arrived in Pula, a charming town on the southern tip of Istria and found a campsite surrounded by sea on a peninsular just outside the town on a good bus route.
