OT: Driving Venice to Slovenia to Croatia.. .thoughts?
- Thread starter N&B4PSU
- Start date
When I lived in Austria in 2013, I took the train to Croatia. Had a border check from Slovakia into Slovenia because we left Shengen. You'll probably have to do the same thing driving. It's not a big deal but it takes time.
I've been to Italy and Slovenia but wasn't in charge of driving so I don't think I can add too much.
. Croatia is not a member of Schengen so anytime you cross in or out of Croatia there will be border checks. Beautiful countries. Slovenia is a little more depressed (or at least it was when I was there years ago) compared to the rest of Western Europe. It should be a great trip. Let us know how it went.
I will be in Split Croatia all next week (not that this info helps you at all). Safe travels... I have been told by many people Croatia is a beautiful country.
Topic or thread view... this is still the greatest free show on Earth. I post a relatively obscure info question and have 5 responses in less time than it took to cogitate on making the trip... thanx to all for ur thoughts.
If I pull this off, wife will allow a greek isles cruise out of venice (trying hard to convince her we NEED an aft balcony... lol) on condition that we find a way to do a couple other countries she's never visited (between us, very few left). I have friends who've been to both places and they sound beautiful, so this seems the way to make it happen.. 2 days in venice, cruise to the islands.. back to venice and directly off to slovenia/croatia, back to venice for a day before flying home.
i love my plan. convincing her of the cost of that aft balcony.. 'nother story.
thank you again to all who have (or will) contribute.. i read 'em all and appreciate what all have to say.

My daughter (PSU grad) is getting married in an area bordering Slovenia/Croatia, not far from Trieste in September. Along with a few fellow ATO's from PSU (1967-1970), we will be traveling from Venice to the wedding near Trieste. Magnificent countryside. May even go to the Grand Prix of Italy at Monza on 9/6.
Good luck. I love Venice!
