Split to Hvar by Ferry – Split to Stari Grad
The port of Stari Grad is the main port on the island of Hvar, and it’s the town where the large car ferries dock.

(There is another, smaller, car ferry operating from Drvenik on the mainland to Sucuraj on the eastern end of Hvar.) You can of course also utilise this car ferry if you’re a foot passenger.
