Mostly due to the coastal position of Kvarner, the specificity of its transport system consists of marine transport whose focal point is the port Rijeka with terminals for loading and unloading of cargo and passengers. The port in Mali Lošinji is also of international significance, while the other ports are mainly of a local character and are only temporarily used for tourism. Among them the following are particularly important for tourism: Brestova-Porozina and Valbiska-Merag which connect the land and the island of Krk with the islands of Cres and Lošinj, followed by Baška-Lopar which connects the islands of Krk and Rab and the most frequented Jablanac-Mišnjak which across the Adriatic highway you arrive at the island of Rab. Road traffic is characterised by a satisfactorily dense road network per square kilometre, with satisfactory routes directions given the traffic flow, however also unsatisfactory technical characteristics, road quality, signalisation and safety elements and humble share of highways. Railway traffic rests on two railway tracks with an international character – in the direction of Ljubljana and Zagreb given that the railway tracks Zagreb-Rijeka are a part of the international rail corridor Budapest-Zagreb-Rijeka.
The framework of air transport comprises of two international airports – Rijeka on the Island of Krk and Lošinj, one sports airport – Grobnik and air dock at Unija. Capacities of the airports, especially in Rijeka, are nowhere near full use so that it only has two regular international flights, for Hanover and Köln, while from the 23rd of April regular flights to Munich and Stuttgart will be introduced and from the 1st of April flights to Oslo-Rijeka will also begin.
