Latest airport reviews
Small cosy airport, nothing big and not many shops. Not too far from Zadar city centre.
Warning!! Do not use the taxis at the airport, if not preebooked and paid for. The airport has allowed a taxi mafia to run it's business there and they will rip you off. They will surround you outside the airport if you try to negotiate their extremely overpriced tour to Zadar city centre. They gang up on you, calling you stupid if you tell them you know they are ripping you off. I have complained, so have others, but the Croatian tourist service and the airport allows it and won't fix the problem.
My son was ripped off £160 by the mafia taxi drivers at the airport. Shocking. Why can't the authorities stop this?
The airport is small and fine, but the taxi rank outside is a ceiminal rip off. Do not, under any circumstances, use there taxis. We arrived at 2 am so we didn't have a choice and we were charged 70 euro (500 kuna) for a ride to the ciry centre, which is about 5 miles. Use Uber or Bolt or a bus if you can. It's shocking that this is allowed but apparently 1 taxi company bought a license to provide a service there (Park there) and it's obviously a mafia.
