By car to Komarna
The motorway from Zagreb is now open all the way to south of Makarska 45 km from Komarna. Getting off the motorway in Vrgorac you must drive in the direction of Dubrovnik. This will take you to Ploce and the coastal road. Follow the coastal road south towards Dubrovnik. Don't trust your GPS as you get off the motorway. There has been too many recent changes because of the construction work for the next section to Ploce.
Komarna and all our self-catering apartments are off the main North-South highway (E65) that runs along the coast. It is about 70 km. North of Dubrovnik and 120 km. South of Split. Look out for the "km stones". The road to Komarna is between the km 733 and km 734 stones.
There is again car train from Hamborg to Villach in Austria: Urlaubs-Express link.
Route planner
Some route planners recommends to go through Banja Luka. This is not advisable. It may be 100 km shorter, but the road is not good.
By car and ferry from Italy:

Agent for four different companies operating between Italy and Croatia
SNAV ferry's operate from Ancona and Civitanova to a number of ports in Croatia.
By air
There are three options if you want to fly into Croatia.
Dubrovnik Airport is the most convenient. There are plenty of flights coming in, there are good bus connections to Dubrovnik bus station and from there to Komarna, and it is affordable to go by taxi, or we can arrange to pick you up.
The second option is Split Airport, which is also very well connected to the outside world. There are frequent bus connections that go South (buses running between Dubrovnik and Split pass by Komarna).
There are sometimes good prices for tickets to Sarajevo airport. Distance to Komarna is about 200 km.
You can catch a bus towards either Split or Dubrovnik. The buses for Dubrovnik go right past Komarna. Be sure that the driver knows where Komarna is. If he does not know it is best to get off in Metkovic and catch a bus or a taxi for the last part of the journey. If you are on a bus for Split, get off in Metkovic and take a taxi or another bus from there. Any bus for Dubrovnik should do it.

There is also a train connection to Ploce, 20 km from Komarna. The train comes from Sarajevo where there are connections from Zagreb and Budapest. Some trains only run to Capljina. There are good bus connections from both Ploce and Caljina towards Komarna (Dubrovnik).

Local Transport
Always bring your passport and your insurance papers for the car.
The passport is important because Bosnia-Herzegovina is just eight kilometers down the road, and you will have to pass the border on your way to Dubrovnik.
Herzegovina borders are everywhere when you drive around. You can look at a map and think that you might avoid crossing the border. Do not rely on it. You might have to backtrack if you did not bring the passport.

Watch out. You have to flag down the buses. Wave your hand. Standing there might not be enough. When you come up the road from Komarna the bus stop towards Metkovic and Split is on your right hand side a hundred meters down the coastal road. The Bus towards Dubrovnik stops at the bus stop to your left.
