Korcula Town

Korcula town

Korcula town is the miniature of Dubrovnik. I have heard this affirmation from many visitors, especially those approaching this ancient town by boat or ferry.

For the Croats this town is considered as a  small Dubrovnik, crowned by the old bell tower of the St Mark Cathedral, walls and towers, which once protected the city from the enemy.

This small romantic town offers the same medieval charm that his older and more famous brother has. Narrow streets and old stairways, old churches, palaces,  mighty walls, cannon protected fortress, romantic small restaurants, red roofs and something more.

It’s a debatable birthplace of famous Marco Polo. Local records say that Marco Polo was born in this town (don’t argue with a local on this point) and his house makes an interesting visit.

Korcula Town Attractions

Old Korcula town map

Once you start strolling the old town streets. your first impression is the enormous influence of Venetian architecture, visible at every corner of the town.

Exploring the above map of the old town, you can easily plan your own tour starting from a large square in front of Cathedral St. Marco (Sveti Marko).  This is the heart of the town, probably the most beautiful place to start from.

Korcula Piaca square

Take a coffee in one of Pjaca’s (Square) bars watching all buildings around the square and I’m sure you won’t get bored. It’s my favorite place in Korcula.

The biggest and the most beautiful building of this romantic town is the Cathedral of St. Marco. Bishop’s palace stands immediately right to the Cathedral. It is a Renaissance building, built in the 17th century.

It has a balcony across its whole front. It is considered to be the longest balcony in the country. It used to be the Bishop’s Palace. Today there is a museum there with a rich collection of Croatian and Italian Renaissance artists.

Opposite of the Cathedral Sv.Marco is the Arneri palace, built in the rich Gothic style, with a nice renaissance and baroque cloister with Gothic facade.

Arneri Palace

Korcula town has a lot of renaissance and baroque palaces, belonging to famous aristocratic families like  Arneri, Kapor, Boschi, Ismaeli, Gabrielis, Kanavelic, Spanic, Kapor. One of the palaces Lesic Dimitri Palace , has been converted into a luxury hotel.

Lesic Dimitri Palace is situated next to the house of Marco Polo. The Palace is transformed into a high-end apart-hotel, restaurant and spa with six luxurious residences, which range in size from 50 sqm to 162 sqm, and a restaurant.

Korcula Town Walls & Towers

Approaching the town of Korcula, the first thing you will notice,  are the city walls and towers, which make this city similar to Dubrovnik.

The Old Town is surrounded by 14th century thick stone walls and towers. There were 12 towers by which Korcula was surrounded in the middle ages.

There are two main entrances in the Old Town. The south entrance called Land Gate ( Kopnena Vrata )  leads trough Revelin Tower (built from 1493 to 1496) into the old town and to the main town square.

Kula Revelin, Korcula

The west side entrance is called Sea Gate (Morska  Vrata) that leads through Baroque stairway from the harbor along the open loggia from 1584 (today local Tourist Office) to the town.

Sea Gate, Korcula

Korcula Town – A Short Historical Overview

The first known inhabitants of Korcula were Illyrian tribes , who lived from farming and fishing. Upon the arrival of the Ancient Greeks , Korcula became a Greek colony.

Both tribes lived for centuries together but Greeks never associated themselves with the Illyrian, probably because Greeks considered Illyrian as a part of a lower social status.

In 7th century AD, the Croats ( Slavs ) came to the Adriatic coast, from the fertile Neretva river valley but the first Croats arrived on the island of Korcula in the early 9th century.

It’s undeniable Venetian influence on town architecture. They ruled this town from 10th to 14th century and  was during this period that the Venetians left its unique mark on town’s culture and architecture, which has been well preserved to the present day.

An old historical document from this period ‘ Statute of the town and the island of Korcula ‘ from 1214 (displayed in Town Museum), reveals that the golden period for Korcula was between the 13th and 15th centuries.

During the Ottoman expansion , Korcula was repeatedly threatened by only seemingly invincible Ottoman Empire. One of the most famous battles was in 1571, against the Ottoman naval leader Uluz Alija , who attempted to conquer the city.

Thanks to the courage of local inhabitants, both from the town and the surrounding villages, Korcula town managed to defend and to banish the invaders.

The rule of Venice had ended in 1797 and Korcula became part of the Austrian empire for over a century. It is a period of stagnation in the development of the island. Upon the fall of Austrian empire at the end of the First World War, Korcula became part of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes .

After the Second World War, Korcula became a part of Yugoslavia inside the Republic of Croatia, until 1991, when Croatia become an independent state.

travel split to korcula

Planning a Korcula itinerary is an excellent way to unwind and relax when visiting Croatia . Located off the Dalmatian coast from Dubrovnik, the island of Korcula is one of the country’s most popular islands to visit and it isn’t hard to see why. Though many visit as a simple day trip, spending 2 to 3 days on Korcula is an excellent way to really get the most out of the island and even explore some nearby areas.

If you’re considering visiting Korcula island and want to know what to do here, this itinerary will help you plan out the perfect escape to this gorgeous and dynamic Croatian paradise!

Table of Contents

How Many Days on Korcula?

Before mapping out an itinerary, you may be wondering how many days to spend on Korcula in order to do it justice. Even a day trip to Korcula is doable and you can cover a lot of ground, however, if you want to have a relaxing holiday and manage to see a lot of the island, plan to spend at least 2 days on Korcula.

If you plan to see Korcula in 2 days, then you’ll have time to explore the Old Town, sample some Grk wine in Lumbarda, take advantage of some of the best beaches on the island, go wine tasting and tour some wineries that lie a bit inland.

For those with more time, 3 days on Korcula can be ideal if you either want to relax on the beach for a day or are keen to explore the nearby Peljesac Peninsula. This will allow you to really get to know this area of Croatia and will be an altogether more relaxing time.

Korcula Town

Getting To & Around Korcula

Getting to Korcula is another thing that’s worth considering when planning your trip. As an island, Korcula is only accessible via ferry or personal boat but there are a few options open to you for those arriving to the island.

Assuming you don’t have your own boat to reach Korcula, you’re going to access the island via ferry. There are ferries to Korcula from Dubrovnik , the town of Orebic and Split .

The ferry to Korcula from Dubrovnik is only a passenger ferry and, therefore, you cannot take a car. It also only operates seasonally. You can  view ferry schedules here.

The most frequent ferries go from Orebic on the Peljesac Peninsula to Korcula Town. These are car ferries and the journey time is only about fifteen minutes. Orebic is located about a 2-hour drive north of Dubrovnik.

You can also catch a car ferry from the city of Split to the town of Vela Luka on the western end of Korcula. This journey takes about 3 hours and doesn’t sail nearly as frequently as the Orebic to Korcula Town ferry.

In general, if you’re spending more than a day visiting the island, you’re going to want to have your own car in order to get to all of the best things to do in Korcula.

It makes it a lot easier to get around and you can reach some of the more remote beaches and explore a number of different villages with ease. You can browse car rental options here.

However, if you’re up for it, Korcula is also quite cycle friendly and it is popular to hire bicycles on the island. It’s not a very mountainous island (unlike an island like Hvar ) and you will see many cyclists pedalling all over the island.

Beautiful Korcula Coastline

2 to 3-Day Korcula Itinerary

Whether you have 2 days to spend on Korcula or 3, this itinerary is ideal to help you plan out the ideal trip to explore this island. Covering the historic old town, beautiful beaches and plenty of wineries, this is sure to be a trip you won’t soon forget.

Day 1 – Korcula Town & Lumbarda

Korcula old town.

No trip to Korcula is complete without taking the time to explore the beautiful old town of Korcula. If you’re arriving from Dubrovnik or Orebic, this is where you will arrive into and Korcula Town also makes for a great place to base yourself on the island.

Claiming to be the birthplace of Marco Polo (though there is no real evidence to back this up), Korcula Old Town is a compact and completely charming area to explore either independently or on a walking tour. Enter through the imposing Old Town Gate and take the time to wander through the winding, cobbled streets.

Make your way to the St Mark’s Church and, if you’re up to it, you can even climb the bell tower. If you want to learn more about the history of the island, you can also pop into the Korcula Town Museum. Not far, you can also find the alleged birthplace of Marco Polo.

Making your way over to the seaside, take in the Kanavelic Tower – one of the few towers still standing of the old city walls. There are also fantastic views of the Adriatic and the Peljesac Peninsula.

For those who want to go for a swim, there are some small beaches and swimming areas along the promenade in Korcula Town, however, there are better beaches in Lumbarda.

And if you want to take in an incredible view, make your way up some of the winding stepped pathways outside of the old town to the Panorama Korcula viewpoint – here you can get a bird’s eye view of the picture-perfect old town.

Korcula Town Gate

Degustation and Sveti Antun Church

Making your way out of the old town, it’s about a 20-minute walk (or a very quick drive or bicycle ride) to OPG Komparak, which is a great place to stop by and sample some local products.

Known mostly for organic, local honey, you can learn a bit about beekeeping and also sample a few kinds of honey along with some delicious jams and fresh-pressed extra virgin olive oil.

They also distil their own gin here and you can even do a tasting of that if that interests you! This is also a great place to pick up some unique, local souvenirs to take home with you.

Not far from OPG Komparak, you will find the Sveti Antun Church which is a historic church sat atop a hilltop. There is a steep, stone staircase to climb up to visit this church, but it is peaceful and tranquil up there and you can get some great views of the surrounding area from the top.

OPG Komparak

Now it’s time to make your way to the town of Lumbarda, which is only about 6 kilometres from the church – it’s a very quick drive and is also accessible by bicycle. There are also organised tours such as  this wine tour  or  this wine and bike tour.

Lumbarda Town itself is pretty sleepy with not much going on, but it’s worth visiting because the town is known for having some of Croatia’s only sandy beaches and also for its wine production.

Lumbarda is studded with countless vineyards and it is incredibly picturesque. It is also home to a unique white grape variety – Grk – that only grows in this specific area on Korcula.

Because the Grk grape needs sandy soil, it’s not ideal for anywhere else in Croatia. The vine also only produces female flowers and, therefore, cannot self-pollinate. This means that Grk vines must be grown in between Plavac Mali vines – a red grape variety that is quite commonly found throughout Croatia.

Lumbarda is dotted with wineries and you can spend your afternoon hopping between them and sampling some local vintages. Most wineries also offer food so you can enjoy a platter with local cheese, charcuterie, anchovies and olive oil all while sipping a chilled glass of Grk white wine.

We highly recommend heading to Sabulum Winery and Vitis Winery, however, there are plenty more to choose from in the town of Lumbarda and they’re all very easy to access.

Wine Tasting @ Sabulum Winery

Dinner and Drinks in Korcula Town

If you haven’t had enough local wine in Lumbarda, head back to Korcula town for your evening and grab a pre-dinner drink at Mariolo Wine Bar. Tucked in a quiet alleyway in the old town, they have a great list of Croatian wines available by the glass.

And if you’re looking for a great dinner option, then head to Konoba Aterina . They have a local, seasonal menu with great specials where you can sample delicious local specialities at good prices. They also have a lovely outdoor terrace to enjoy.

Wine Tasting @ Mariolo Wine Bar

Day 2 – Southern Beaches & Smokvica

Pupnatska luka beach.

On your second day, it’s time to venture a bit further out from Korcula Town and Lumbarda and explore some of the beautiful beaches on the southern coast of the island.

In fact, if you’re stuck choosing between islands like Hvar or Korcula and you want to have a number of gorgeous beaches to choose from, then Korcula has a number of great ones to choose from.

Begin your day at, arguably, one of the most beautiful pebble beaches on the island – Pupnatska Luka. To reach this beach, direct yourself to the View Point Pupnat on Google Maps and follow the small road down to the beach – it isn’t listed on maps but the road is paved and in good knick (though there are some switchbacks).

From the beach car park, there is a small staircase down to the beach and, for those who want to have a drink or refreshment, there is also a beach bar here. The beach itself is tranquil and there is plenty of room for those looking to spread out a towel, go for a swim and simply enjoy a day here.

If you’re looking for other great beaches nearby, the smaller Zitna Beach is a great option and the quiet Zal Beach in Brna Town is also a nice place to stop for a splash in the Adriatic.

Pupnatska Luka

If you want to explore more of the island, then after soaking up the sun on the beach, consider heading to the western end of Korcula to visit the second-largest town of Vela Luka.

If you arrive on a ferry via Split, this was your port of entry, however, it’s very much not as visited of a town and it has a much more local vibe than old town Korcula.

Take the time to wander along the seaside promenade and maybe pop into a cafe for a cup of coffee or an ice cream. There are also restaurants here where you can get a bite to eat for lunch.

Vela Luka

As you’re driving across the island, you will be winding your way through hectares and hectares of vineyards. There are countless wineries throughout Korcula and if you want to sample some more local wines, then consider making a stop in the village of Smokvica.

This town is home to the white Posip grape (a common grape variety found throughout Croatia but particularly on Korcula and on the Peljesac Peninsula). However, there are plenty of other grapes and wines to sip at the wineries here, as well.

Much like in Lumbarda, there are several different wineries to hop between where you can sample some local wines and have a plate of food while learning more about winemaking in this area.

The views of the valleys below are also absolutely stunning so it’s worth coming here just for these vistas alone.

Church in Smokvica

Day 3 – Peljesac Peninsula

Peljesac day trip.

The final day of this Korcula itinerary will see you heading off of the island and over to the Peljesac Peninsula. Though this peninsula is quite a well-known destination among European tourists, it’s not as popular for visitors form further afield and you can get quite a good, off-the-beaten-path experience here if that’s what you’re after.

Start by taking the ferry from Korcula Town to Orebic (it’s only about fifteen minutes). Orebic is worth exploring in its own right – you can definitely grab a coffee here – but there is far more to see than this town.

Peljesac, like Korcula, is completely covered in vineyards and there are a number of incredible wines to sample and wineries to visit. And if you’re into other gastronomic products, the peninsula is also known for its mussels and its oysters and you will see farms dotting the coastline.

Those looking for a good place for a swim will find plenty of great, calm and secluded swimming spots and places to splash around. And there are also beautiful villages and historic towns to explore.

One particularly popular place to visit is the walled town of Ston, where you can enjoy a walk along the city walls with a fraction of the crowds found in Dubrovnik!

And if you’re a fan of modern architecture, make sure to take in the beautiful and brand-new Peljeski Most – a bridge that connects the peninsula with the Croatian mainland and prevents having to cross into Bosnia & Herzegovina when driving to or from Dubrovnik .

Where to Stay on Korcula

Apartments Milion – Located in the heart of Korcula Town, this is a great place to base yourself when exploring the island. They offer both double rooms and fully furnished flats along with plenty of great amenities for guests to enjoy.

Aminess Korcula Heritage Hotel – Those looking for a luxury option while visiting this beautiful island will love this plush hotel. Located on the coast in the centre of Korcula’s old town, they have many lovely rooms on offer along with breakfast, room service and an on-site bar.

Villa Nobilo – If you’re after a quiet, self-catering stay close to some of the best wineries on Korcula, then this place in the village of Lumbarda is an excellent choice. There are several fully-furnished studios to choose from along with an excellent location for exploring the island.

Hostel Korcula – Budget travellers to this Croatian island will love this highly-rated hostel. Located in the centre of Korcula Town, they have a range of dorms and private options available along with good common areas and self-catering facilities.

When do you travel? It makes quite a difference

Then I don't think prebooking is necessary

Thanks! Which port terminal do they arrive/depart?

https://split.gg/split-ferry-port/

Korcula harbor:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/42.9637/17.1332

This is helpful, thank you so much again for your response

With our very limited time, do you have a recommendation for a place to get a quick drink or tapas, something easy/quick? Near the port

Oh there are quite a few places, but I can't remember any specific. Sorry...

I cannot recommend anything specific either. However, when you get off the catamaran, turn right and walk along the waterfront. You will be spoilt for choice.

Personally, I would get something very quickly and spend any time you have exploring the old town. I would probably bring something with me, not to have to waste a single minute trying to find something to eat/drink.

Thank you!! Sandwiches would probably be good then.
