What this video covers
Pier construction at Stari Grad, Hvar is running past its April 1 deadline and is expected to finish roughly one to one-and-a-half months late, as of April 15.0:09 The south-side main pier — the section closest to town where larger boats dock — is the section under renovation; the west end and north-side sections were upgraded in prior years.0:37 A port official confirmed the delay.0:47 Because charter boats that wintered here at lower-cost berths have not yet departed, available docking space is reduced to roughly five or six boats instead of the usual ten to fifteen, and that constraint will persist for about ten more days.1:12 Restaurants are opening — approximately five are operating — but the fresh market is not yet set up and is expected by May 1.1:57 The town is otherwise inhabited year-round, with cafes and shops open.1:57 Sailors planning an early-season stop at Stari Grad should expect limited pier space and active construction on the main south-side berths through at least mid-May.
