Korčula is one of the most beautiful, most historic, and culturally richest islands in South Dalmatia.
The island is renowned for outstanding wines (Grk, Pošip), excellent food, crystal-clear sea, and a strong local identity.
KORČULA – Korčula Town
Korčula Old Town is a stone labyrinth of Renaissance streets, defensive towers, palaces, and squares.
It’s often called “Little Dubrovnik” because it looks like a miniature fortified Renaissance citadel on the sea.
Its history is also tied to the legend of Marco Polo, who—according to tradition—was born here.
- an elegant seaside promenade
- top konobas and fine dining
- art, history, and cultural events (Moreška, the traditional sword dance)
Korčula Town is sophisticated, yet deeply welcoming and romantic.
LUMBARDA
Lumbarda lies east of the Old Town, famous for its white sandy beaches (a rarity in Dalmatia!) and for Grk wine, grown only here.
- wide family-friendly beaches
- an easy, laid-back Mediterranean vibe
- vineyards right by the sea
Perfect for a day of swimming and wine tasting.
VELA LUKA
Vela Luka is the largest town on the western side of the island, known for the beauty of its bay, therapeutic spas, and a very gentle energy.
- a departure point for trips to Proizd
- a long, calm bay
- authentic local life, a fishing rhythm, and tradition
Vela Luka is for peace, nature, and the feeling of a real island.
PROIZD
Proizd is a small islet near Vela Luka and one of the Adriatic’s most photogenic places.
Marble-like rocks, turquoise sea pools, and unreal colours make it feel otherworldly.
It’s often described as one of Europe’s most beautiful beaches.
Proizd is pure zen—and pure natural aesthetics.
Why is Korčula special?
- world-class wines (Grk, Pošip)
- a blend of history, art, and Mediterranean hedonism
- turquoise-clear seas and paradise islets
- elegant gastronomy and living tradition
- the most balanced mix of all Dalmatian islands (culture + beaches + wine + nature)
