Split, the second large town of Croatia, is the closest port on the mainland and can be reached by air, land or sea. One may decide to get to Split by one’s car, by bus, by train or plain, and board speed boats ( hydrofoils ) to reach the town of Hvar in 60 min ride. On the other hand one may take the ferryboat from the port of Rijeka and get to Split or directly to the port of Stari Grad on the island of Hvar.
The ferry passage from Split to Stari Grad takes 130 min and upon arrival you will take another 15 min drive to reach the town itself. In case you are not coming by car you can reach Hvar by a direct catamaran line in 60 min drive. The additional option is to pass Split and continue to the port of Drvenik and make a very short ferry passage to Sućuraj on the island of Hvar, but you will have to take a two and a half hour drive to reach the town of Hvar, Sućuraj being the furthermost eastern point of the island.
