Boarding in Prizna

Ferry port in Prizna is pretty simple – there’s no building at place, and there’s only one small caffe bar nearby to pass the time. Therefore, you’d need to wait in the line before boarding the ferry. During summer season, there can be heavy traffic jams, due to the fact there’s only one small and narrow road which leads to the boarding area. That is why we recommend arriving at the port as early as possible. Ferry line is operated by Jadrolinija, and it’s currently the only ferry route departing from Prizna.
