Ferry from Venice to Porec (Croatia)
I have located a convenient ferry travelling to and from Porec from
Venice and I will probably book our tickets online. However I cannot find out how to access the Venice ferry. Is it from Maestra or further on in Venice itself. The ferry website gives no information about this whatsoever. As we will be travelling from Ferrara to Venice it would be very helpful if we knew actually what do do and where. I think a bus might be invlved from a railway station, and as we have little Italian it would be very useful if we had some simple instructions. We are not all that young, and the Golfer does not travel well, but any help would be much appreciated. Cheers The Golfer's Wife |

The two lines I know of that make that route leave from Venice itself. They are in an area that veers off from the bridge, and are easily accessible by car. If you have no car, you will have to take the train ( or bus -- how are you treveling?) into town --bus to the Piazalle Roma, train to the Santa Lucia train station ( bom boom). Then the vaporetto to the dock of the ferry, or -- if the budget allows and the golfers needs it, a taxi. You are an hour away from Ferrara by train, perhaps an hour and a half. The ferry leaves late-ish afternoon, so you should try to arrive early and have time to pop into Venice for few hours. You mention Bus-- you might inquire if there is a bus that goes direct to to ferry from either Piazzale Roma or perhaps Mestre. The ferry people should be able to give you info. It can be walked, but it a longish haul. Don't worry about "little Italian." Plenty of English available. rjf |

The train station is very close to Piazzale Roma, which is on the edge of the city, where the causeway from the mainland ends. If you have a rental car, you should arrange to drop it at Piazzale Roma. Marianne |

From Santa Lucia train station in Venice you take a water taxi to the San Basillio port, where the ferry for Porec leaves. There are at least two fast catamaran ferries leaving for Porec in high season (afternoon, around 5 o'clock), one belongs to Kompas Travel Agency (Croatian - the ferry is Prince of Venice), the other one belongs to Atlas Travel Agency (Croatian - the ferry is Princess of Dubrovnik). They both take you to the port of Porec, which is in the town centre. For more information, you can write to the travel agencies mentioned above. HTH. |

To clarify, San Basillio is in Venice, not that far from the train station. Other alternatives, if you are not arriving by train, are a land taxi from Mestre, or land taxi from the Piazzale Roma bus depot for the VERY short trip to the ferrry. The water taxi from S. Lucia is exorbitant for the short trip. A Vaporetto goes from S. Lucia to San Basilio. I should think that the ferry companies would offer recommended directions. rjf |
