Hvar Airport (LDSH)

by Paul2026-07-28 08:19:54 UTC

We landed on 24 July 2026 in a C172. The runway is roughly 800m of dirt (neither grass nor gravel), in good condition. The field has absolutely no facilities, no tower, no fuel, not even a fence giving it a real backcountry feel. Nobody was on-site, but we did get a response on the radio from someone monitoring remotely.

Landing fee is 20 EUR, payable via AeroPS. Parking is free and there's plenty of space.

The lovely town of Stari Grad is an easy 35-minute walk away, with plenty of good restaurants and accommodation. The hotspot Hvar Town is 20km / a 30-minute bus ride and definately not walkable. Buses run roughly hourly at 5 EUR per person a 3 min walk from the port.

Highly recommended for anyone comfortable with dirt strips. This stop turned out to be a real highlight of the trip. Flying as it should be.

Are you sure?
