There are several options available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Is there Public Transport from Split Airport to Hvar?

Yes, there is public transport between Split Airport and Hvar, but it is not very convenient or fast. You will need to take a bus and a ferry to reach the island. Here is how it works:

• First, you will need to take the line 37 bus from Split Airport to Split city centre. The bus stop is located right outside the airport terminal, and the buses run every 20 minutes from 4:10 am to 0:55 am. The bus ride takes about 40 minutes and costs 17 kuna (approx. €2.20) per person.
• Next, you will need to get to the Split port, where the ferries and catamarans depart to Hvar. You can either walk for about 20 minutes from the bus station, or take the line 3 bus from Split – Opcina to Split – Tržnica. The bus ride takes about 10 minutes and costs 11 kuna (around €1.40) per person.
• Finally, you will need to take a ferry or a catamaran from Split port to Hvar. There are two main operators: Kapetan Luka and Jadrolinija. Kapetan Luka runs fast catamarans that take about 1 hour to reach Hvar town, but they only operate from April to October, and they have a limited schedule of 4 to 6 departures per day. The catamaran ticket costs 110 kuna (around €14.30) per person. Jadrolinija runs slower ferries that take about 2 hours to reach Stari Grad, a town on the north side of Hvar island, from where you will need to take a bus or a taxi to Hvar town. The ferry ticket costs 47 kuna (around €6.10) per person, and the bus or taxi ride costs another 30 to 50 kuna (around €4 to €6.50) per person. Jadrolinija operates all year round, and they have more frequent departures of 8 to 10 per day.

As you can see, taking public transport from Split Airport to Hvar is a long and complicated process, which can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the connections and the season. You will also have to pay a total of 85 to 185 kuna (around €11 to €24) per person, not including the luggage fees. Moreover, you will have to deal with the hassle of buying tickets, finding the right stops, and carrying your bags around.
