About Porec Old Town

Porec is a historic seaside town on the west coast of Istria, built on a narrow peninsula whose street plan still follows the Roman layout. The main street, the Decumanus, leads past Venetian Gothic palaces and Romanesque houses to Marafor square and the remains of Roman temples. The town's 6th-century basilica complex, with shimmering gold mosaics, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A seafront promenade circles the peninsula with views across to a small wooded island, and cafes, ice-cream shops and galleries fill the lanes.

Around Porec Old Town the areas travellers ask us about most are The seafront promenade and harbour, Borik and Spadici to the north, Zelena Laguna to the south and Cervar-Porat to the north. Tell us the hotel and the driver takes the best route into that part of Porec on the day.

Tell us the flight number and we allow for the real conditions on the day.

Meeting your driver at Pula Airport

Every airport is laid out differently, and Pula Airport is no exception: some airports have a fixed meeting point inside the terminal, some have a specific exit where drivers may wait, and at others the driver stands just beyond customs with a sign. Because of that we do not print one rule here. When we confirm your Pula Airport to Porec Old Town transfer on WhatsApp, we tell you exactly where your driver will be, with the driver's name and a phone number you can message the moment you land.

Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Pula Airport.

The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

Every vehicle is checked and cleaned between journeys, and the drivers know the hotels of Porec Old Town and their side streets, so you are delivered to the right gate, not just the main road.

Who books the Porec Old Town transfer

Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from Pula Airport to Porec Old Town on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.

How to book your Porec Old Town transfer

To book the Porec Old Town transfer, send us your flight details, your date, how many are travelling and where you are staying in Porec Old Town - through the form here or straight on WhatsApp. We confirm the fixed price and the meeting arrangement in writing within minutes, and the same chat stays open for any change of plan before or during your trip.

Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.

Good to know before you land at Pula Airport

Send us your flight number and hotel address; summer weekends bring queues on the roads from Italy and Slovenia, so allow extra time before a departing flight.

Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Pula Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.

If you are two households or a group, say how many bags as well as how many people; luggage decides the vehicle more often than passengers do.

Porec Old Town to Pula Airport: the return transfer

For a Porec Old Town to Pula Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Pula Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.

Many guests book both directions together for a single confirmation with two times on it; if the return flight changes during the stay, one message moves the pickup to the new time.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Porec Old Town transfers

What guests tell us they value about the Porec Old Town transfer is the absence of surprises. The price they were quoted is the price they pay. The driver is where the confirmation said.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
