Before Security Smoking
Smoking is only permitted in designated areas outside the terminals and a cafe with smoking area.
2025, May update from Cectep:At the arrival, when waiting after the passport-contol for the suitcases, follow the green signs to a smoker-section.
After Security Smoking
2025, May update from Cectep: Due to huge construction works the terrace for smokers is now closed, and smoking is not tolerated between the airport-building (security control) and the temporary tent with the gates.
For Schengen-flights there is still the outside area between the gates 10 end 11 and new an inside-cabin opposite gates 23 and 24 behind Café Nero (or right to the exit of the main Duty-Free-Shop) - see photo.
Departure: the described possibilities after the security-control are closed now, but there is a smoker-section at the end of the hall behind gate 12 near to the islamic prayer-room - see photo
2024, July update from Cectep: As Croatia is now also a Schengen member, the terrace at Gate 5 can also be used for domestic flights. My note from June 2022 is no longer valid.
Update from Sam, July 2023: Review should be revised as facilities are ampel. Absolutely great smoking facilities. Before security there is a cafe with smoking area. After security, there is a huge outdoor terrace with great views of the aircraft!
Update from Lubov, July 2022: There's an outdoor terrace at the international flights, after security. Next to Gate 5.
Update from Cectep, June 2022: There is no possibilty to smoke after the security control on national flights.
Once in departure there is an excellent
smoking area on the side of the runway , it is partially enclosed
but has a roof and is right next to the four gates.
