All international ferries TO Croatia originate in Italy from a handful of Italian ports: Ancona, Bari, Venice, Cesenatico and Pesaro. (Ferries AROUND Croatia connect the Croatian islands with the coast. See more on Croatia local ferries)
Naturally, there are far more ferries between Italy and Croatia in the summer. Each year a handful of ferry companies issue their new schedules and routes for the summer season. Most of the expanded services start around April but some are July and August only. The season ends by mid- October.
