Choosing your journey
Without a car, a passenger boat to Hvar Town is usually the simplest arrival. Choose the car ferry to Stari Grad only after adding the separate journey across the island.

Hvar Town or Stari Grad?
A passenger catamaran lands in Hvar Town, close to the harbour and old streets. The car ferry lands at Stari Grad, a different port with onward road travel. Compare the cost of the whole journey, including that bus or taxi, rather than only the cheaper-looking sea ticket.
The direct passenger crossing is around an hour on a suitable sailing. The Stari Grad car ferry takes about two hours before the onward transfer. Krilo passenger boats, Jadrolinija to Stari Grad.
Buy for the actual departure
Check the operating period, baggage allowance and whether your ticket is tied to one sailing. At Split port, read the current berth information and allow time to find the boat. Travelling with a bicycle, pet or vehicle needs the operator's specific rules, not an assumption based on an ordinary passenger fare.
Plan the night after the boat
A room above Hvar harbour may involve stairs even though it looks nearby. Save the host's walking instructions before arrival. If you are returning for a flight, leave a mainland buffer rather than relying on the last possible boat.
For a southbound island trip, book the next sailing towards Dubrovnik before choosing how many nights to stay. Hvar Town guide.
