How to reach Hvar?

Croatia is a country at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and Central Europe. Croatia extends from the furthest eastern edges of the Alps in the north-west to the Pannonian lowlands and the banks of the Danube in the east; its central region is covered by the Dinara mountain range, and its southern parts extend to the coast of the Adriatic Sea .

Croatia is a country that has a long coastline, so besides traveling on the mainland, one can use ferries to travel around Croatia too. Ferry transport is very popular means of transport at the coastline. The Croatian coastal towns and cities are served by ferry and ship services. Islands that are inhabited are connected with the mainland and other islands by various ferry services. Off season traveling is restricted, but seasonal (summer) travel routes tend to be more frequent and some of fast hydrofoil/catamaran services are added too. Road map of Croatia you can find here.
