Frequently asked questions

Is Stari Grad better than Hvar Town?

It depends on what you want. Stari Grad is older, calmer and more affordable, with the UNESCO Greek plain and a gentle harbour; Hvar Town is glossier, busier and more expensive. Many travellers prefer Stari Grad for a relaxed stay.

How do I get to Stari Grad?

Stari Grad is the main car-ferry port on Hvar, about 1 h 45 from Split. From the port it is a short drive or bus to the town and on to Hvar Town. See our Hvar from Split guide for details.

What is the Stari Grad Plain?

A UNESCO-listed agricultural landscape laid out by Greek colonists around 384 BC and still farmed along the same field lines — one of the oldest continuously worked landscapes in Europe.
