The Wedding Website of Maria Sofia and Mackenzie Mapes
Travel has been a constant thread in our love story, beginning with flights between Nebraska and North Carolina, as our relationship began long-distance. Since then, we’ve become airline regulars, embarked on many road trips, and even circumnavigated the globe together! We’ve been fortunate to see so many incredible places; however, one has always remained our favorite- Croatia. We are so excited to welcome you to this special place. Hvar is one of Croatia's most beautiful destinations! Because Hvar is an island, getting there is part of the adventure. We recommend flying into either Split (SPU) or Dubrovnik (DBV) airport, and we've added details on how to do so below! We've also included hotel information.

Flight

Option 1: SplitOption 1: Split

Arriving into Split Airport (SPU) is the most popular route to the island. Upon arrival, getting to Hvar involves two steps: reaching the Split ferry port and taking a catamaran/ferry to the island. You can reach the main Split ferry terminal via:Airport Shuttle/Bus or Taxi. High-speed catamarans run daily from the Split port directly to Hvar Town. The catamaran takes approximately 50–60 minutes. We highly recommend booking your tickets in advance during peak season via operators like Jadrolinija, Kapetan Luka (Krilo), or TP-Line.

Flight

Option 2: DubrovknikOption 2: Dubrovknik

Dubrovnik (DBV) airport is a great option as well. We hope you have the chance to visit during your time in Croatia, and on the way to Hvar, you can enjoy a scenic cruise up the Dalmatian coast. The Dubrovnik ferry port (Gruž) is located about 20–25 km from the airport. You can take the airport shuttle bus, which runs to the main bus station in Gruž, or a taxi/Uber for a more direct option. There are direct high-speed catamaran services that connect Dubrovnik to Hvar Town. This is a longer, scenic journey taking approximately 3 and a half hours. Because this route is a popular day trip, ferries can sell out quickly in the summer. Please book your tickets well in advance through Kapetan Luka (Krilo) or TP-Line. Important note: If you are sensitive to motion, the sea can occasionally be choppy; you may want to have travel-safe medication on hand just in case.

Whenever we visit Hvar, Villa Huerte is where we stay. This bed and breakfast sits on a quiet bay across the mountain, about 3 KM from Hvar Town. The 2 restaurants across the bay are always a hit- but bring cash! While this is a bit further from the venue, it is a quick drive. The hosts offer a taxi service, and will provide you with a WhatsApp information to text them through. Please note- this location is NOT recommended for guests with mobility issues that may limit their ability to climb stairs.
