2025 Korcula Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

✈ 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

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.
