How to get from the Split International Airport to Hvar Island?

Transport from Split Airport to Hvar (hotels Amfora & Pharos)

Regardless of what transportation means you are going to use you will undoubtedly experience an interesting Adriatic Sea journey to Hvar Island. When you see the city of Hvar and start enjoying its benefits you will know that your journey has paid off.

The closest international airport is Split Kaštela Airport, which has direct flights to all major airports in Europe including Frankfurt, London, Munich, Paris, and Vienna. From Split Kaštela Airport you can take a bus or a taxi, or rent a car to Split Main Bus Station, which is within walking distance to Split port from where you need to travel by catamaran or ferry (if you are arriving by car) to Hvar.

BUS from Split Kaštela Airport to Split Main Bus Station (Pleso prijevoz)

Buses drive from SPLIT Kaštela Airport to SPLIT Main Bus Station (platform No.1). Split Main Bus Station is directly adjacent to the Split port, so it is easy to continue your journey to Hvar.

The departure of the bus from Split Kaštela Airport is in front of the airport main entrance. The final stop of this bus is the Split Main Bus Station.
