Most people who travel to Korcula also visit Hvar Island (see how to get from Hvar to Korcula and the opposite direction) as this is Korcula’s neighbouring Island and as good neighbours, I would like to add to this site some info about the island including how to reach it from Korcula, Mljet, Dubrovnik, Split and Vis. For more info about the island check here.

These are all frequently asked questions on our travel forum as well as in emails I receive daily.

Getting to Hvar Island

To get to the island you have to take a ferry. There are four ferry ports to the Island: Hvar Town, Stari Grad, Jelsa and Sucuraj. All ferries arrive and depart from these places. There are ferries to Hvar from Split, Vis, Brac, Korcula, Mljet and Dubrovnik as well as from Ancona in Italy. Read my recent article about getting to Dubrovnik from Hvar

Ferries to Hvar:

Update: check an excellent new site about ferries in Croatia where you can find all ferry schedules of Croatian ferries, including an exhaustive list of Ferries to Hvar Island with all the latest schedules/timetables and prices + also see a timetable for Ancona, Italy to Hvar (Stari grad) Ferries if you are visiting via Italy.

Accommodation on Hvar Island

Accommodation on the island could be difficult to find in the summer months so I would recommend doing your accommodation booking in advance unless you plan to visit the island out of season.

Although most visitors to the Island stay in Hvar Town, there is also a lot of accommodation available in neighbouring places – Vrboska, Jelsa, Stari grad…in these places accommodation is much cheaper than in the Town itself.
