Getting here...

If you are travelling directly to Hvar, the easiest way is probably by air to Split (on the mainland) and then taking a ferry or catamaran to Hvar Island.

With flights to Split now available from a number of British Airports with Easyjet, FlyBe, Thomas Cook and Croatian Airlines, it has never been so easy to get to Hvar. There are also direct flights from France, Germany and Italy amongst others.

From Split airport there is a frequent bus service (Croatian Airlines) to Split port (costs about £3 – 2008 price) or you can take a taxi for around £25 to £30. Either way it will take approximately 30 minutes depending on traffic.

From Split port there are several ferries and catamarans each day. Cost of a single ticket varies but in 2008 was in the region of £4. Timings vary according to the time of year, but typically from June to September there will be 3 to 4 catamarans daily, each taking 1 hour direct to Hvar town.

Catamaran is our favourite way to arrive as you get a fantastic view of the Venetian buildings leading to the waterfront.

There are also 4 or 5 ferries which take approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to Stari Grad on the Island of Hvar. A bus meets the ferry and runs to Hvar Town, taking approximately 30 minutes.  Alternatively, taxis are available.

Timetable for catamarans and ferries can be obtained from www.jadrolinija.hr and www.splittours.hr

'Gerberas' in very conveniently situated being only minutes walk from where the catamaran docks, and a stroll from the bus station.

Our contact in Hvar meets all guests from the Hvar Town catamaran or bus station and shows you to the house.

From other places in the Adriatic...

The island of Hvar is served by the main Croatian coastal ferry and also with fast catamaran services from the Italian ports of Ancona and Pescara. This makes Hvar Town an ideal place to combine with visits to Dubrovnik, Rijeka, Zadar or many of the other Croatian islands. Visit www.jadrolinija.hr, www.splittours.hr
