Getting there

From Israel, travelers usually arrive with a connection in one of Europe's cities, and there are also seasonal options worth checking in advance. Croatia is in the Schengen Area, so before traveling it is worth checking your passport's validity and the current entry conditions for Israelis, including any digital entry authorization that is required.
