Stari Grad to Split car ferry - turn up early!

Hi,

Just got back from Hvar yesterday (it was lovely!!) and thought we%26#39;d share our ferry experience. Arrived at 10:30 for the 11:30 car ferry to discover it was full, so had to wait until the 2pm ferry.

All the advice I had been given (including emailing Jadrolinja) was to arrive 1 hour early. Luckily our flight from Split was at 7pm so we were OK on the 2pm ferry (it%26#39;s a 2 hour crossing). However, if we had turned up for the 2pm one an hour early there is no way we would have got on it!

By 11am there was a massive queue hoping to be on the 11:30 ferry which just grew and grew all day until the 2pm one went (leaving many behind I%26#39;m sure)

Thank goodness we decided to get the earlier ferry knowing there was another one if we missed it, although I didn%26#39;t really think we would. We spent a hot and boring day hanging around the queue in Stari Grad, watching some poor guy whose job it is to get on his bike and cycle up the hill to check on the length of the queue!

So turn up in plenty of time if you have a flight to catch in Split!!

Yes, you were not lucky, one hour earlier was evidently not enough in the busiest time of the season.Some people use to put the car in the queue the evening before.
