Airport and transfer Information
Most of you will choose to arrive in Split Airport (SPU), which is a 30 minute bus or taxi away from the city of Split. It is a small airport, and you should expect to have at least one transfer somewhere in Europe. Please budget time in the transfer for clearing customs twice: Croatia is in the EU but not part of the Schengen agreement.
Ferry Information
You will need to take a ferry or catamaran to Hvar Island to reach your accommodations after you arrive in Split. The ferries are operated by Jadrolinija and the catamarans by Krilo. Both depart from central Split. See map.
There are several Jadrolinija ferries per day that go to Hvar island. The primary route is the local ferry, which takes two hours and has four departures daily. One route arrives in Stari Grad, which is a 15-minute bus ride away from Hvar Town. The buses are right outside of where the ferry arrives in Stari Grad--easy to find and board. You'll need local cash to pay, which is easy to get at ATMs. Another route arrives directly to Hvar Town, but departures vary by day.
