Question
How to Purchase Ferry Tickets to Hvar:
Answer
To book your ferry tickets, use the website ferryhopper.com Ferries leave every hour out of Split to Hvar, and the ferry ride is about an hour long. If you plan to travel along the coast of Croatia before or after our wedding, the ferry system is incredibly helpful! You can take the ferry up and down the coast to beautiful places like Korcula, Dubrovnik, Zadar, Krk, etc. for a very reasonable price. If you have any questions about traveling in Croatia, please reach out to Madison!
