One of the decisions tourists have to make about their holiday on Hvar is how to get around to explore the rest of the island. Car rental is an obvious option, and there are pros and cons renting on the mainland or on Hvar.
There are buses, but the timetable does not always meet the needs of visitors, particularly those looking to hit the beach or smaller resorts. Scooter hire is also a popular option, but a more convenient choice for some is the private transfer, which is more affordable than people think, as well as offering visitors complete flexibility.
Guests in Stari Grad, for example, are able to enjoy clean, safe and friendly transfers anywhere on the island with a usual waiting time of 5-10 minutes (perhaps a little longer in peak season), and this can be an excellent way of discovering Hvar.
To give an example of prices to the other main towns, pictured above, the price for 1-4 passengers to Hvar Town from Stari Grad was 32 euro, Jelsa 22 euro and Vrboska 20 euro. Prices for larger groups are even more attractive. Groups of 5-8 paid a combined price of 40 euro (Hvar Town), 27 euro (Jelsa) and 25 euro (Vrboska).
The transfer service opens up the possibility to explore the wonderful beaches on the south side of the island - Zavala, Ivan Dolac and Sveta Nedjelja. A transfer to Ivan Dolac, for example, cost 38 euro for up to four people, 43 euro for up to eight.
Other smaller resorts not far from Stari Grad are suddenly more accessible for little more than the price of a bus ticket (if indeed buses serviced these routes), such as Basina for 22 euro for four, 27 euro for 8. Individual destinations can be organised.
For an updated price list and more destinations, check out the Hvar Touristik website, or pop into their office which is located on the edge of the old town of Stari Grad. It is also possible to pre-book a transfer by email
