Route guide

Plan your ferry from Stari Grad to Split

The Stari Grad to Split crossing connects Stari Grad and Split in Croatia. This route is part of the Dalmatia / Hvar ferry network.

For a departure from Stari Grad, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Stari Grad ferry terminal is the principal vehicle gateway to Hvar. From the port, roads continue toward Stari Grad town, Hvar Town, Jelsa and the rest of the island.

On the other side of the crossing, Split is your arrival port. Split’s old town, ferry port, bus station and railway station are tightly grouped, making the city especially easy for foot passengers.

Compare the Stari Grad departure and Split arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Stari Grad to Split result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Split may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

After arriving

Continue your journey from Split

Split’s old town, ferry port, bus station and railway station are tightly grouped, making the city especially easy for foot passengers.

Diocletian’s Palace and the Riva are only a short walk from the ferry berths, so most central sightseeing needs no transport.

Brač, Hvar, Vis, Šolta and other islands are integrated into Split’s everyday transport network; confirm whether your chosen service carries vehicles or foot passengers only.

For an onward connection from Split, include time to leave the ship and terminal. Check local transport for the actual arrival day, especially if the ferry arrives early in the morning or late at night. A nearby hotel or a later connection may give more flexibility if the crossing is delayed.

Including this crossing in a trip from the UK

Planning the wider journey in Croatia

Planning advice for the journey from Britain

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Stari Grad to Split fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
