Pula Airport (IATA: PUY) is Istria's main airport, just 6 km northeast of Pula city. Mostly seasonal charter and low-cost flights in summer. British, German, and Dutch travellers are the main audience. If you're heading to Rovinj or Poreč, this is the obvious choice.
→ Live Arrivals – Pula → Live Departures – PulaFor Istria, Pula Airport is unbeatable — Rovinj is just 40 km away. For Ljubljana it's a longer journey (~280 km, ~2h 45 min), but worthwhile if your trip combines time in both Istria and Slovenia. A private transfer gives you the flexibility to stop along the coast on the way north.
To Rovinj in 35 minutes, or to Ljubljana in ~2h 45 min with the option to stop in Piran or Poreč along the way. We can do the whole Istria → Slovenia journey in one ride. Price confirmed at booking.

Why "ask for price"? Rovinj is 40 km from Pula — but we drive from Ljubljana (280 km empty), transfer you (40 km), then return home (300 km). That's ~620 km total, not 40. The price is fair — it just needs to be quoted individually.
Quick run to Rovinj or the full journey to Ljubljana — just ask.
