About The Port Of Korcula
Korcula's old town occupies a small peninsula shaped like a herringbone, its narrow lanes branching off a single main street in a medieval plan that has earned the settlement a place on UNESCO's tentative list. Gothic and Renaissance buildings line stone squares, and the compact core, sometimes called Little Dubrovnik, sits within easy walking distance of the pier. The island claims a long association with Marco Polo, and a house said to be his family home draws curious visitors through its old streets.
Beyond the walls, the island unfolds into olive groves and vineyards, including those around Cara and Smokvica that produce a well-regarded dry white wine. The coastline mixes pebble beaches with clear, calm water, and nearby Mljet, tied in legend to Odysseus, offers wooded hills and quiet coves for those extending the day inland.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Korcula.
Climb St. Mark's Cathedral Tower
The bell tower of this Gothic-Renaissance cathedral offers sweeping views over the terracotta rooftops and the Pelješac Strait. It's a short walk from the pier and takes under an hour round trip.
Sample Pošip Wine
Taste the crisp, dry white wine grown in the vineyards around Cara and Smokvica, a short drive inland; many small cellars offer tastings paired with local cheese and olive oil.
Day Trip to Mljet's Lakes
Take a boat excursion to Mljet National Park to walk or cycle around its saltwater lakes and dense pine forests, the mythical retreat of Calypso and Odysseus. Allow most of the day given travel time.
