About Hvar/Gdinj
Gdinj is a village of about 120 people, set at 361 metres in the Jelsa municipality. The D116, the island road that runs 77.9 km from the Sućuraj ferry port to Hvar town, passes straight through it. Below the village on the south coast is Medvidina bay, reached by car or by boat from Gdinj. The homes are spread across several kilometres in the area around Gdinj rather than in one cluster, so check where each one sits before you book. There is very little in the village itself, so plan on driving for shops and restaurants, and expect quiet evenings.

With a car, take the Drvenik to Sućuraj ferry, a crossing of about 30 minutes, then drive the D116, which passes through Gdinj. Without one, the daily boat from Split to Jelsa and a taxi on to Gdinj takes over three hours from Split airport.
Is there a beach near Gdinj?
Medvidina bay sits on the south coast below the village and can be reached by car or boat from Gdinj. It is a quiet spot rather than a resort beach, so bring what you need for the day.
Is Gdinj good for families?
It can work for small families who like quiet. Most homes here have one bedroom and none has a pool, and few sleep eight or more, so larger groups have very little choice.
How far is Gdinj from Hvar town?
A long drive. Hvar town is at the far western end of the D116, the 77.9 km island road that starts at Sućuraj and passes through Gdinj, so allow plenty of time for a day trip there.
