faq.subtitle Hvar
Fast catamarans from Split (1 hour) or car ferry from Drvenik to Sucuraj. Book early in summer as ferries fill up quickly.
June and September for ideal weather and reasonable prices. July-August is very hot, crowded, and expensive. May is good for fewer crowds but water is cooler.
Hvar is one of Croatia's most expensive destinations. Prices are significantly higher than mainland, especially in peak summer. Budget travelers can save by staying in Stari Grad instead of Hvar Town.
Not necessary for Hvar Town which is walkable. Useful for exploring the island. Scooters are a popular and cheaper alternative. Parking in Hvar Town is very limited and expensive.
Very safe. Crime is rare. Watch for pickpockets in crowded tourist areas. Main concerns are sunburn and sea urchins when swimming.
Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Hvar
Book ferries early in summer - they fill up fast, especially on weekends. Jadrolinija website has the best prices.
Visit the lavender fields in June-July when they are in full bloom. The lavender festival is held in late June.
Avoid Hvar's main square for dining - overpriced. Head to side streets for better value. Try konobas in Stari Grad for authentic local food.
Rent a boat to reach Pakleni Islands for secluded beaches and crystal-clear water. Water taxis are also available.
Bring water shoes - beaches are rocky and sea urchins are common. Most beaches are pebble, not sand.
Stari Grad is cheaper and quieter than Hvar Town - a good budget alternative with UNESCO-listed Stari Grad Plain nearby.
