Why is the road distance from Split to Hvar longer than the flight distance?
The road distance of 50 km is about 35% longer than the 37 km straight-line air distance, because highways follow terrain, coastlines and existing infrastructure rather than a direct great-circle path. Aircraft can fly close to the shortest route, which is why the flight from Split to Hvar covers less ground distance than the equivalent drive.
