Your destination
About Hvar
Hvar has two front doors and they are 20 km apart. Catamarans put you on the riva in Hvar Town, a two-minute walk from the square; car ferries land at Stari Grad on the far side of the ridge. Which one you use is decided not by preference but by whether you are bringing a vehicle — the fast boats carry none at all.
