    Beautiful Coastline: Another spectacular view of the Croatian Coastline
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: This picture was taken when we were on the Drvenik-Sucuraj ferry on the way to the island of Hvar. It doesn't get any more beautiful than this!

    General Tips: Sucuraj, Hvar
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Our car ferry's destination on Hvar was Sucuraj, a sleepy little village on the east side of the island. From there, we drove the length of the island to the town of Hvar, located on the other side.

    After having done this, I strongly recommend taking the Split-Hvar ferry, which does not require you to drive through the island. The road going from Sucuraj to Hvar is extremely narrow, has many hairpin turns, is on high cliffs in some places, and has no shoulder or guard rails. There is just barely enough room for two cars going in opposite directions. I was a nervous wreck by the time we got to Hvar. Of course, all that was fixed with a serving of Gregada (local Hvar dish) and a fine bottle of Hvar wine in an outdoor cafe right on the Adriatic.
