Arrival from Zadar
Zadar Airport is roughly 35 minutes from Drage by car. Public transport usually means changing in Zadar, so with family or luggage a rental car or transfer is the more comfortable option.

Shopping, pharmacies, airport and daily logistics

Health and pharmacy
For basic pharmacy needs, Pakoštane or Biograd are the right directions. In an emergency in Croatia, call 112 first.
