Hvar port
Hvar is a town on the western side of the island of Hvar, located in a large bay, protected by the archipelago of Pakleni islands. The town doesn’t have a ferry port in a traditional sense, but only a catamaran port/mooring point, located in the southeastern part of the harbor, in the very centre of the town. If you are traveling by car to Island Hvar you can not go to Hvar town as there is no car ferry port, in that case, you will have to sail to Stari Grad.
