The unique gift of the nature was given to the southern part
of the Adriatic sea - the island of
Korcula.
Korcula's main natural features are well-indented coast with
countless bays and picturesque islets. The landscape of Korcula
is very rich with green vegetation of Mediterranean plants.
The island of Korcula is also covered with stone terraces
mostly on its west side.
The island of Korcula is connected with
the biggest Dalmatian centre Split by ferries leaving from
Vela Luka. The eastern side of the island is connected with
Dubrovnik and the Peljesac peninsula also by ferries, but
leaving from the town of Korcula. There is also a ferry line
from Korcula to Drvenik in Makarska area and a few international
ferry lines.
Bigger places on the island of Korcula
are
Blato,
Vela Luka and
Korcula, which are well known tourist destinations, as well.
There are also other interesting places in the middle part
of Korcula: Smokvica with the bay of Brna, Cara and the bay
of Zavalatica, Pupnat with two magnificent coves, Pupnatska
Luka and Bacva and Zrnovo with its picturesque bays Vale defora.
The best apartment choice is in the
coastal places
Prizba,
Prigradica, and Karbuni.
Korcula
is the town encircled by the city walls and towers. Churches,
public buildings, squares, streets, everything valuable to
take a look at, are the example of how architectural masters
from Middle ages and Renaissance expressed themselves in stone.
Vela
Luka is a port but also the well known tourist place. Interesting
position at the end of the island surrounded with many nice
bays makes it special. You can take a restful evening walk
or visit some good restaurant, coffee bar or a discotheque
in Vela Luka.
