Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.
Look for the lowest price

Time is also an important factor. An earlier departure may allow you to see a beautiful sunset or relax before an important event.

Here the quicker option is definitely the Flight from Pegasus Airlines: you will get to Istanbul in just 2h 10m.Comfort makes all the difference
You should always take into account what your personal travelling preferences are. Is one hand luggage enough, or are you trasporting more? Would you like to have a snack during the journey? Can you relax in a busy compartment, or do you need space for yourself? Even among the same mode of transportation, different companies will offer you varying levels of comfort and amenities. The main operators connecting Zagreb and Istanbul are FlixBus, Croatia Airlines and Air Serbia, but be sure to check what they have to offer!Save money with deals, and always compare
One last tip? Even if you live in Zagreb and Istanbul is your only destination, it may be wise to check the offers from and to nearby cities or, if you are flyng, nearby airports.
