Korcula travel guide and discussion

✈ Self-driving tour around Croatia during the National Day, 11 days of itinerary, basically covered all the classic scenes. Sharing some dry goods (detailed content, divided into several issues). 👑Zagreb (Pictures 5-7) This time we took a circular route, landed in Zagreb by LOT Polish Airlines, and spent half a day visiting Stone Gate, market, two churches (not open for renovation) the next day. 🔺The most recommended attraction is Lotrščak Tower, where you can overlook the whole Zagreb. On one side of the tower is the shortest cable car in the world. 🔺Go to St. Mark's Church early in the morning, it's hard to take pictures when there are too many people later. It is recommended to book accommodation near Jelačić Square, where you can walk to all attractions. I booked Apartman Rudi, over 400 per night. 🔺It's cheap to take Uber in Zagreb. 👑Dubrovnik (Pictures 1-4, 12-14) Flew to Dubrovnik in the afternoon of the second day, also considered self-driving, not to mention tired, because we planned to stay in Dubrovnik for 3 nights, and the attractions in the city can be reached on foot. Save 3 days of car rental fee, the domestic ticket is only over 300. 🔺The most photogenic place here is the old town. If you love photography, it is recommended to book a hotel on the hill opposite the old town. I booked Apartments Villa Kosovic - ground floor, the view is excellent, you can overlook the sunrise and sunset of the old town from the balcony. The price is 400 per night, which is very cheap. 🔺As for taking pictures, the main street of the old town is crowded with tourists, but the small alleys on both sides are less crowded and good for shooting. In addition, it is necessary to go up the city wall at sunset, at least reserve 3 hours, otherwise they will rush people when they close. 🔺Another sunset viewing spot in Dubrovnik is on the mountain. Many people will take the cable car to the top of the mountain. But if you want to frame the old town and the sunset, you need a more southern perspective. I found a "wild view" (location in picture 13) through Google Maps, the view is better, and it only costs 15 euros to take a taxi up. 👑Korčula (Pictures 8-11) Three days in Dubrovnik, rent a car on the fourth day to Korčula. 🔺The car rental company chose SIXT, the pick-up and return process was very smooth. Please note that if you are going to several Balkan countries (such as Mostar), you need to pay a 50 euro exit fee. 🔺Drive to Orebi on Korčula Island, take a 15-minute ferry, 15 euros for both people and cars is very cheap. 🔺This small island is like a shield, beautiful when viewed from the air. It used to belong to Venice, so the architectural style also fully reflects the Italian style. There are day-trip tourists on the island, and it is comfortable to stroll in the morning and evening. 🔺Korčula has a real jelly sea, just under the city wall of the old town, where you can swim. The hotels on the island are also very cheap. I booked a four-star hotel (Marko Polo Hotel by Aminess) with a buffet dinner, over 700. 👑Split (Pictures 15-16) 🔺Drive from Korčula to Split in 2 hours, where there is the World Heritage Site Diocletian's Palace. It is recommended to play early in the morning and late at night. When the lights are on at night, the ruins are like the Palatine in Rome. The second day, climb the bell tower, visit the cathedral, feel mediocre, not cheap, not very worthwhile. 🔺Overall, there are many tourists in Split, the whole city is relatively noisy, if it is not for island hopping, one night is enough.

The island of Korcula is surrounded by beautiful green/blue/gold Dalmatian waters. The people of Korcula believe Marco Polo was born here, and there is a small museum that is said to be Marco Polo’s old home. There are also many shops paying tribute to the famous explorer. Overall, Korcula is a cute and quaint island - it is tiny and can easy be explored on foot. We also tried the local white wines (grk and posip) at one of the many scenic cafes. #croatia #korcula

The sixth largest island in Croatia, Korcula is 20 miles long and rather narrow, between 4 and 5 miles wide on average. This island is known for its dense forest and the ancient Greeks called the island Black Korcula (Kerkyra melaina) for this reason. The main resorts are Korcula Town (people call it “Little Dubrovnik” because of its medieval squares, churches, palaces and houses), Vela Luka and Lumbarda. There’s also smaller towns and villages dotted around on the island for those looking for a more secluded holiday. Korcula is one of Croatia’s most treasured islands although, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, not quite as popular as some of its slightly more northern counterparts, such as Brac and Hvar. This may be because the island is a little further away to get to (both from Split or Dubrovnik) and some of the most convenient ferry services to the island only run in summer. #city #cityoverlook #citytopics #cityvacation #citylife #village #country #urbanexplore #urbanexplor #tripinspired #tripgood #travelguide #croatia #korcula #islands #givethanks#naturalwonders#bestislandtraveltowns

Badija Island &Croatia A peaceful spiritual retreat with wheelchair accessibility and loving community Visiting Badija Island with my son in a wheelchair was an unforgettable journey.

We successfully completed our spiritual retreat with Father Jozo. Surrounded by the beautiful fresh air and breathtaking scenery, we had a truly profound spiritual time. Highly recommended for those seeking peace and spiritual grace! 🕊️✨

Croatia has Dubrovnik and Hvar. But on a small island in the Adriatic lies a town that rivals them both. Korčula is a medieval walled settlement on a peninsula, its streets laid out in a fishbone pattern to catch the sea breezes. The stone is warm. The sea is turquoise. Marco Polo was born here. Here is how to explore this island treasure and save money with Trip.com. 1. The Old Town at Dawn: Stone and Sea Light Korčula's old town is a maze of narrow stone streets, hidden courtyards, and ancient churches. By 9 AM, the ferries arrive and the streets fill. Come at 6 AM instead. The stone glows in the soft light. The sea laps against the walls. You will walk through streets that have barely changed in centuries, with only the sound of your footsteps and the cry of gulls. It feels like a secret. Pro Tip: Download the Trip.com offline map for Korčula. It shows you the hidden passageways and the quietest routes along the walls. The best photos are from the Revelin Tower at sunrise, when the stone turns gold and the sea sparkles. 2. St. Mark's Cathedral: A Gothic Jewel St. Mark's Cathedral is the heart of Korčula. Its Gothic facade is decorated with carved figures, and its bell tower rises above the rooftops. Inside, the atmosphere is solemn and cool. The altarpiece is a masterpiece. Come early. The light through the windows is beautiful, and the cathedral is quiet. Money Hack: The cathedral is free to enter, but the bell tower has a small fee. Buy a combined ticket on Trip.com that includes the tower and the Marco Polo Museum. You save about 25%. The climb to the top is steep, but the view over the red rooftops and the sea is worth it. 3. The Marco Polo House: Fact and Legend Korčula claims to be the birthplace of Marco Polo, the famous explorer. The house where he was supposedly born is now a small museum. The connection is debated, but the story is compelling. The museum tells the story of his travels along the Silk Road. Come in the afternoon. The light is soft, and the museum is quiet. Budget Advice: Skip the expensive guided tours. The museum is small, and the exhibits are self-explanatory. Check Trip.com for a "Korčula Walking Tour" that includes the house and the cathedral. The guide separates fact from legend and shares stories of the island's history. 4. Food That Tastes Like the Adriatic Dalmatian food is fresh and simple. Try Žrnovski Makaruni — local pasta with meat sauce. Order Gregada — a fish stew with potatoes and white wine. And do not miss Cukarini — sweet twisted pastries, a local specialty. Where to Eat: Skip the restaurants on the waterfront. They charge for the view. Walk into the backstreets and find Konoba Mareta or Adio Mare, where locals eat. The food is fresh, and the prices are fair. Check Trip.com for set menu deals — some places include a glass of local Pošip wine when you book through the app. Where to Stay? Book on Trip.com a guesthouse inside the old walls. Look for something near the cathedral or the Revelin Tower. You will sleep in a stone house with wooden shutters, a small balcony, and the sound of the sea at night. The evenings are lively, and the mornings are quiet before the ferries arrive. Conclusion: Korčula is not a place you rush through. It is a place you absorb. It is a town of stone and sea, of cathedrals and legends. It is a place where the past is present in every wall. Croatia is a country of stunning beauty, and Korčula is its island soul. Come and walk the stone streets. The Adriatic is waiting. #trip_com #Croatia #Korcula #korculatravel #CroatiaHiddenGems #Dalmatia #MarcoPolo #BudgetTravel #EuropeGuide #traveleurope #AdriaticIsland #MedievalTown #StMarksCathedral #IslandLife #HiddenCroatia

#Croatia is a stunning country filled with breathtaking coastlines, charming towns, and secret spots off the tourist trail. If you want to truly discover it all, renting a car and hitting the road is the way to go. #postandearn Public transport in Croatia is limited when it comes to covering long distances or reaching remote places. Buses and ferries often run on strict schedules and can’t get you everywhere. Driving yourself gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace. I booked my rental car with Trip.com, which offered great deals and a hassle-free process. With a car, you can easily visit places like the Pakleni Islands, quaint villages inland, and secluded beaches that aren’t on the usual maps. Roadtripping Croatia means you can stop whenever you want, try local food in small towns, and soak in landscapes that public transport would never let you see. It’s cost-effective and unlocks an authentic travel experience. Plan your Croatian adventure with Trip.com and prepare for a journey full of surprises.

#croatianislands If you’re dreaming of a Croatian island escape but want something quieter than Hvar and more romantic than Brač, let me introduce you to Korčula. Often called the “mini #dubrovnik ” for its medieval walls and red-roofed old town, this island is the perfect blend of history, culture, and untouched natural beauty. And getting there is easier than you think. During my last trip to Croatia, I decided to include #korcula as part of my coastal adventure. With a little planning and the help of Trip.com, I booked my flights, hotels, and even a rental car to make the journey seamless. I rented a car through #tripcom so I could explore the Dalmatian coast at my own pace. Driving to Orebić and then taking the car ferry gave me the freedom to discover Korčula’s hidden beaches and villages once I arrived. Korčula may feel like a hidden gem, but with a little planning you can get there without stress. I organized my entire trip on Trip.com, from booking flights and hotels to renting a car. Having everything in one place meant I could focus on the fun parts: deciding which beach to visit first and how many bottles of Grk wine I could fit in my luggage.

#croatianislands POV: you have recently booked your rental car with Trip.com for your journey in Croatia, now how do you hop on and off between the islands? Jadrolinya ferries! When you think of Croatia’s islands, what comes to mind? Maybe turquoise waters, medieval towns, and long summer nights under the stars. But here’s the secret most people don’t realize: the best way to explore this Adriatic paradise isn’t by joining group tours or relying on public transport. It is by renting a car and taking it with you on the ferries that connect the mainland to the islands. Yes, you can literally drive your way across Croatia’s dreamy archipelago, and it is easier than you think. During my trip to Croatia last summer, I discovered how game-changing this approach can be. With nothing but my driver’s license, a ferry schedule, and a car rental booked in advance, I unlocked a level of freedom that made the journey unforgettable.

#croatianislands An amazing island, beautiful scenaries, deep clear waters, sandy beaches, nice and quiet small villages settled around golfs. I recommend renting a car so that you can explore the whole island . You can also visit the wineries which are famous for Posip and Gyrk wines. It was a very pleasant experience! A beautiful Mediterranean island, with excellent beaches, vineyards and breathtaking architecture. The traditional dance "Moreska" should definitely be seen. The birthplace of Marco Pollo is preserved in the town of Korcula.

Korcula Old Town is an exquisite fortified town dating from the late mediaeval period, found on the Croatian island of the same name. Up until to the 18th century it was forbidden to build outside of the fortified town. As you walk the narrow ancient streets, it really does feel like you’re travelling back in time. If you plan to visit Croatia in 2025 and do some island hopping, Korcula is a real gem among the Croatian islands. #getgoing2025 #korcula #croatia

This place is called Keer, and some people call it Kechu. It was originally just a small island on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. In fact, it didn't attract much attention. But because of the Chinese missionary Marco Polo, it became famous. Here you can see some very different and unique things. In Croatia, because it wants to become a signed country, this island is called the sixth largest island, so it is a place worth recommending.
