Buses Hvar Island
Hvar is one of top destinations when it comes to islands, not only in Croatia, but in entire Europe as well. It is no wonder since its tourism is quite developed and nightlife on Hvar would interest even those who are not really fond of clubbing. On top of that, Hvar is the island with the highest number of sunny hours throughout the year. Another interesting fact about Hvar is that one out of 10 UNESCO World Heritage sites in Croatia is actually located on this island – the so-called Stari Grad Plain which got listed in 2008. Hvar has four main municipalities: Hvar (town), Stari Grad, Jelsa and Sucuraj and each of these municipalities has several settlements.

Dear Francesca,
As far as we know, there are no season tickets available for public transport on Hvar. There are different lines on Hvar Island so you should check which line stops at which stop directly with the bus carrier Cazmatrans Hvar.

Hey,
are there busses I could take from Jelsa to Gdinj? Other internet sites only say I could only take the taxi. But its too pricey for everyday use.
Best regards
Dear Zhwan,
according to the official schedule for buses on Hvar island for 2020, there is currently no bus connecting Jelsa and Sucuraj (Gdinj is halfway from Jelsa to Sucuraj).
Usually, there was a bus from Hvar to Sucuraj, that you can check directly with Cazmatans company.

Hey, can you get to most of the beaches on the island by bus when staying in hvar town?
Dear Małgorzata,
local buses operate between the towns and they do not make a stop specifically next to a beach. They arrive in the town’s centre from where you need to continue to the closest beach on foot.
You can also consider renting a scooter or a car.

Dear Delean,
while it is possible, that depends on bus occupancy and the amount of passenger luggage for that departure.
