Getting to Hvar, Croatia
Hvar is a small island off the coast of Croatia. There are no airports on the island, so you will need to fly into a nearby city and take a short ferry ride to the island. We suggest that you: Fly from the USA into a major UK/EUR airport and take a connecting flight to Split, Croatia. We recommend flying into London (Heathrow or Gatwick) or Amsterdam. You may also be able to fly directly into Zagreb, Croatia's capital, and connect to Split (only a 45-minute flight). From Split, you can take the ferry to Hvar. The ferry takes about an hour and is the fastest way to get to Hvar. There are two companies that provide ferry services between Split & Hvar, and they typically depart every hour. To book your ferry tickets, use the website ferryhopper.com While Split is the closest and easiest port to reach Hvar, you can also take the ferry from Dubrovnik to Hvar. The ferry ride from Dubrovnik to Hvar is about 3 hours. A great option if you would like to arrive to Croatia early and explore Dubrovnik before our wedding. If you have any specific travel questions, do not hesitate to reach out to us for assistance! Croatia is a very friendly country- most Croatians speak English and are typically more than happy to help with directions/anything else that may come up.
