For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Vagator Beach
- Pick a hotel with a lift, a pool and car access. The cliff paths and steps at Ozran are steep and poorly lit at night.
- Arrange taxis in advance, especially after dinner. Lanes are narrow and cabs can be hard to find late at night.
- Ask the airline or railway for wheelchair or porter assistance when you book, not on the day.
- Pre-book the pickup from the airport or station, so nobody has to negotiate with drivers after a long journey.
- Choose arrivals in daylight where you can, and keep the first afternoon free to rest.
