We used several modes of transportation to make our way through our itinerary. We transited through bases early on using the rideshare service GoOpti (more on GoOpti in the Practical Info section). We used a combination of buses and trains for our first day trips. For the second part of the trip (Croatia), we initially flew down to Dubrovnik from Zagreb, and from then on made our way back North by rental car.
