Italian Tourists Left Croatia in Tears After $600 Taxi Fare

Two young Italian tourists were left in tears after being charged an exorbitant 550 euro taxi fare for a short journey in Split, Croatia. The women, traveling from the ferry terminal to the airport, were stunned by the price, which they described as ‘unbelievable.’ The journey, covering approximately 25 kilometers and taking around 30 minutes, should have cost significantly less. The incident highlights concerns about taxi pricing practices in Croatia and the potential negative impact on tourism. While some taxi fares are regulated, others are open to negotiation, leaving tourists vulnerable to exploitation. The women, left with limited time before their flight, were unable to file a complaint with authorities.
