Split to Mostar

We will be in Split in late May. Is it possible to take the morning car ferry from Split to Hvar, tour the island, take the car ferry at the other end of the island from Sucuraj to Drevenik and then drive to Mostar all in one day?

I think it is possibile becouse you have few car ferry in a day from Split to Hvar and from Sucuraj to Drvenik. From Drvenik you have about 2.5 hour driving to Mostar.

But I also think that will be too much for you in one day

Yes that seems like a long day of driving. Also understand that the road from Hvar town to Sucaraj is not a very good road--- very narrow and not many shoulders. My father was on that road and said that he would never go on that road again. But maybe its not as bad as he says??

we will be in Split the last 3 days of May and plan on driving to Mostar for a day trip and then going on to Dubrovnik. A 2.5 hour ride is long and then back would make for a long day.

From Split to Mostar is about 2.5 hour driving, and from Mostar to Dubrovnik is also about 2.5 hour driving

To BBCB10:

It%26#39;s not impossible, but be ready to come to Mostar very exhausted. :) I hope you have booked a room there in advance.

First thing you should take into account is that sometimes ferries are full and you have to wait a couple of hours to get on one. I%26#39;m not sure if this is the case in late May, you can ask this on Croatian forum or try to get an info from some tour agency in Croatia (or Split specifically). Second possible bottle neck for you could be on the border in Metkovic, but it shouldn%26#39;t be jammed in late May.

I haven%26#39;t been to Hvar for some 7-8 years. Last time I was there, the road from Hvar to Stari Grad was good (there%26#39;s the old road and the new road, make sure you take the new one :)) but road Stari Grad-Jelsa-Sucuraj was not in a good shape. It%26#39;s very curvy and bumpy and narrow, so prepare for a slow ride. If I remember right (again, people on Croatian forum might know better), the drive itself shouldn%26#39;t take more than 2 hours, but it%26#39;ll be an intense drive. The landscape is fantastic - little villages and fields of lavender by the road and beautiful sea downhill. I also never miss to buy some home made honey (there are signs by the road), the one they made is really unique.

To stormy49:

Same as with BBCB10%26#39;s itinerary, it%26#39;s not impossible, but you%26#39;ll probably end up exhausted. Both roads, to Split and Dubrovnik have shown to be pretty hard for me (they%26#39;re sort of boring, so I get sleepy after short while), especially if I was driving after a long day of doing something else (like you%26#39;d be exploring Mostar). That%26#39;s why I%26#39;d suggest you to squeeze in another day and sleep over in Mostar. It%26#39;ll give you more time to experience it without being worried about how you%26#39;ll drive to Dubrovnik after a tiring day.

I wish you both a nice and inspiring trip. :)

Thanks, Jasmina. I think we will just do a day trip to Hvar and the next day, drive to Dubrovink by way of Mostar. I would have preferred to overnight in Mostar, but because of time constraints will have to settle for a few hours.
