korcula old city

Charming town with lots of quaint shops & restaurant options but be forewarned, Korcula is a summer island and almost everything is closed off season. Old City was a ghost town in March, which worked for us but quite quiet if looking for usual tourist stuff.

We visited in August to get a bit sun and relax a bit.We did relax for a day or two but there is soooo much to do and see. The old town is fantastic, lots of history and views down every street. Lots of places to eat, lots of shops to spend your cash in, museums, the list goes on!We love the place so much we visited two months later and we are going again this year.

I visited Korcula on a small Sail Croatia cruise with 35 people only on board and were told about how beautiful Korcula was and everything we were told was absolutely true. We could not wait to get off the boat and inside the walled town and walk around this gorgeous island. The old town was amazing-just get lost in it and wander-that is the best thing to do. The churches, shops, bars and restaurants were all just quaint and charming. You walk along the cobblestone streets and you look down each alleyway and the historic feel and architecture is stunning. Enjoy shopping, long walks and coffee here and get lost in this town-its so much fun.

the city like others have said is cute and quaint. in the day time, try to take in a view from the bell tower, wander the streets, duck into and out of the souvenior shops, and take in some restaurants. I ran out of time, but wanted to check out the rooftop bar. At night, you can def find a club or a bar...found a great bucket bar and then discovered more of the city at night-just as beautiful!

Spent a week wandering around the old town and nearby beaches - absolutely beautiful. been to the greek islands and these are as nice with far less tourists and far better value. some beautiful local artists galleries and excellent restaurants to be sampled...if your in the area Korcula is a must!

Arriving on a cruise ship we took the ship's tender to the Old Town (Queen Elizabeth) and enjoyed a walk around the streets, stopping at a variety of small shops and a couple of churches. As it was a Sunday we admired the buildings and architecture from the outside. It is certainly very quaint but unfortunately it began to rain so we headed back to our ship - we will visit again

The city itself on Korcula island is very cutesy, lots of shops, restaurants and funky little places to visit. There is a great nightlife, always music playing and people dancing in front of the outdoor bar. Quite enjoyable to just wander the streets in the evening. I'm not sure the ferry runs past dark, so you would have to stay overnight to experience this.Incredible sunsets!I would suggest spending a half day here and then spend the next morning/afternoon touring some of the wonderful beaches on the island and return to the mainland later that day. Two full days is lots of time. I would spend the majority of it in Korcula Town & on some of their wonderful beaches.

LOVED Korcula Island!! Spend a month in Croatia with my daughter and boyfriend and Korcula Island was a definite favorite of mine. Loved the Old City and all the history. If you find yourself in Croatia, don't miss a trip to this island!

This small island is a gem in the middle of the Adriatic. The city is a warren of interesting narrow streets which lead to the sea in any direction.You can sit and watch the ferries,small fishermen boats or even see a cunard line cruise ship with all entourage if you are interested.Restaurants and all types of shops are easily accessible and ferries to the mainland are frequent and cheap.The island is only 47miles long and an interesting day can be spent exploring the vineyards and olive groves. We travelled in early october and the weather was in the low 70'c most days, we did find it very quiet at night with the end of season imminent but still very enjoyable apart from the compulsory 2 and a half hour transfer from Dubrovnik airport the a short ferry to the island

Stopped here on a cruise and spent a couple of hours walking around the old walled city. Very interesting to see some of the buildings and some fine old churches and the narrow streets and alleyways. Some great little cafes close by to stop and people watch as well.

Beautifull medieval walled city, we visited in November 2014 and it was a lovely warm bright day to stroll around the old town and chill out over a cappuccino, nice place to spend a day.

The town is obviously very popular with tourists although it was not crowded and it was easy in fill in a day here wandering around the narrow streets and sitting near the water. The 'Marco Polo House' is interesting although there is no proof that he was born in Korcula. At the time there was a Baroque Music Festival and I sat for some time in St. Mark's church listening to instrumentalists rehearsing for a concert. St. Mark's was once a cathedral however the cathedral is now in Dubrovnik rather than on this island. There are plenty of shops and restaurants and the town of course has expanded outside the original walls.

The views from the top of St Marks bell tower were worth the climb.A very narrow winding staircase.

Wandering the narrow streets is a delight and you feel completely safe at any time of day or night. And it was great not to be hassled by anyone trying to sell things.
