If you are looking for things to do in Korcula<\/strong> (Kor\u010dula in Croatian), you have come to the right place: in this 2026 guide, we tell you about the 19 must-sees on the island with a map, where to sleep, and how to get there. We stayed for 10 nights in mid-August and explored almost the entire island by motorbike, so we are sharing our personal experience.<\/p>\n

Korcula was one of our favorite stops during the almost two months we spent traveling around Croatia and its islands. It has an old town that looks like something out of a Venetian fairy tale, crystal-clear coves, and an interior full of vineyards. Ready to fall in love? Let’s go.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00bbads iati primeros parrafos 5off (2026) – EN\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_module=\u00bb15677″ saved_tabs=\u00bball\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

1. The old town of Korcula, the heart of the island<\/h2>\n

We start with the most unmissable spot. The old town of Kor\u010dula is a small walled peninsula shaped like a fish skeleton: a central street with side alleys branching off. This design is no coincidence; it was planned that way to block the wind and provide shade. Walking through it is a pleasure.<\/p>\n

We used to get lost on purpose in its stone alleys. At every turn, a courtyard, a staircase, or a flower-filled balcony would appear. At sunset, with the golden stone and almost no people, it is pure magic. We recommend visiting it twice: once during the day and once at night, when it lights up and feels like a different place.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/que-ver-en-korcula-casco-antiguo.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbthings to do in korcula old town\u00bb title_text=\u00bbthings to do in korcula old town\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

2. St. Mark’s Cathedral (Sv. Marko)<\/h2>\n

At the highest point of the old town stands St. Mark’s Cathedral, dating from the 15th century, built from the island’s golden stone. Its bell tower dominates the entire old city, and the intricate carvings on the fa\u00e7ade kept us looking up for a good while.<\/p>\n

You can climb the bell tower to get one of the best views of Kor\u010dula: red rooftops, the walls, and the sea in the background. In our case, it was one of those viewpoints worth every step. Keep in mind: the climb is narrow and quite steep, wear comfortable shoes.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/catedral-de-san-marcos-korcula.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbSt. Mark’s Cathedral Korcula\u00bb title_text=\u00bbSt. Mark’s Cathedral Korcula\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

3. The Church of St. Michael (Sveti Mihovil)<\/h2>\n

Very close to the House of Marco Polo is the small Church of St. Michael, home to one of the city’s ancient confraternities. Its Baroque fa\u00e7ade, connected by an arch to the brotherhood house, is one of those discreet corners of the old town that go unnoticed if you are in a rush.<\/p>\n

We didn’t go inside, but many travelers recommend it to see the more religious and traditional side of Kor\u010dula. It is just steps away from the cathedral, so you can easily see it while walking through the alleys. If you like architectural details, take a look at its stone portal.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

4. The House of Marco Polo, one of the things to do in Kor\u010dula<\/h2>\n

Just behind the cathedral is the famous House of Marco Polo. It is one of the things to do in Kor\u010dula that is almost mandatory, although we will be honest with you: historians are still debating whether the explorer was actually born here, and the house was built quite some time after his era. Regardless, the legend is part of the charm.<\/p>\n

The site reopened after a long restoration, so it’s best to check updated hours before you go. The best part is climbing the tower to get a different view of the old town. If you are a fan of ancient traveler stories, you will enjoy it.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/que-hacer-en-korcula-casa-marco-polo.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbthings to do in korcula Marco Polo house\u00bb title_text=\u00bbthings to do in korcula Marco Polo house\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

5. The palaces and noble houses of the old town<\/h2>\n

Walking through the alleys of Kor\u010dula, you will come across various palaces and noble houses from the 15th and 16th centuries, with carved stone portals and shields of the families that dominated the island in Venetian times. The best known are the Arneri Palace and the Gabrielis Palace, which now houses the city museum.<\/p>\n

We didn’t go into the museums (not our thing, unless they are must-sees), but many travelers recommend at least peering into their courtyards and fa\u00e7ades. Looking up while getting lost in the old town is free and offers you plenty of beautiful details.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/old-town-korcula.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbold town korcula\u00bb title_text=\u00bbold town korcula\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

6. The Land Gate and the walls (Veliki Revelin)<\/h2>\n

The main entrance to the old town is the Land Gate, with its large Revelin tower and a beautiful stone staircase. It is one of those postcards you take as soon as you arrive, and you know you are going to like the place.<\/p>\n

From there, sections of the ancient walls that protected the city from attacks lead off. Walking around them, looking at the sea between the towers, transported us back centuries. Inside the tower, there is usually a small exhibition about the More\u0161ka, the island’s traditional dance.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

7. The More\u0161ka, the sword dance of Kor\u010dula<\/h2>\n

Speaking of the More\u0161ka: it is a sword-battle dance that has been performed in Kor\u010dula for over 400 years and is now found nowhere else in the world. It tells the story of a king who kidnaps a young woman and the fight to free her, with swords that truly clash to the rhythm of the music.<\/p>\n

Many travelers describe it as the most special moment of their visit to the island. In July and August, it is usually performed on Mondays and Thursdays at 9 PM in the summer theater, and on Thursdays during the low season. Tickets in 2026 are around \u20ac20 for adults. If you coincide with a performance, don’t miss it.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

8. Lumbarda and Vela Pr\u017eina beach<\/h2>\n

About 6 kilometers from the old town is Lumbarda, a fishing village surrounded by vineyards. We went by motorbike and loved the change of pace: everything is calmer and more relaxed here.<\/p>\n

Its jewel is Vela Pr\u017eina, one of the few sandy beaches on the entire island (most are pebble). It is well protected from the northern wind, so the sea is usually calm, perfect for spending the day. In our case, we stayed until the afternoon, with the turquoise water and vineyards behind us. A great plan.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/playa-vela-przina-lumbarda-korcula.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbVela Przina beach Lumbarda korcula\u00bb title_text=\u00bbVela Przina beach Lumbarda korcula\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

9. Grk wine from Lumbarda<\/h2>\n

Since you are in Lumbarda, don’t leave without trying its star wine: Grk, a white variety that only grows in these sandy soils. There are family-run wineries that open for tastings, and the service is incredibly warm.<\/p>\n

We are not great wine experts, but the experience of chatting with the producers and trying something that literally doesn’t exist anywhere else seemed unmissable to us. If you like wine, also add the Po\u0161ip from the island’s interior, which many travelers highly recommend.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

10. The island of Badija, a boat excursion<\/h2>\n

Opposite the old town is the island of Badija, the largest in the small archipelago of Kor\u010dula. You can reach it by taxi-boat from the port in a few minutes, and many travelers recommend it as a half-day getaway.<\/p>\n

The curious thing about Badija is the deer that roam free and approach visitors without fear. It also has an ancient Franciscan monastery and rocky beaches surrounded by pine trees that provide shade. It is a good plan if you want to get away from the center a bit and find some peace.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00bbads iati Middle seguro de viaje (2026) – EN\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_module=\u00bb15701″ saved_tabs=\u00bball\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

11. The island of Vrnik<\/h2>\n

Another of the archipelago’s small islands, off the southeast coast of Kor\u010dula town, is Vrnik. You can get there by boat in about 10 or 15 minutes, and many travelers recommend it as a quiet getaway, far from the summer bustle.<\/p>\n

Its history is linked to the limestone quarries that were exploited for centuries: the stone for many buildings in the region came from here. Today, it is a small, artistic corner with very few inhabitants. We didn’t visit it, but if you have extra days and like off-the-beaten-path places, it could be a different plan.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

12. Pupnatska Luka, one of the most beautiful coves<\/h2>\n

If there is one place on the island that we loved, it was Pupnatska Luka (we went several times). It is a bay on the south coast, reached by a winding mountain road that eventually descends to the sea. We went by motorbike, and the descent itself is part of the adventure.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/playa-pupnatska-luka-korcula.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbPupnatska luka beach korcula\u00bb title_text=\u00bbPupnatska luka beach korcula\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

The beach is pebbly, with a gentle entry into the sea and water of a blue that doesn’t seem real. When we arrived, we stood for a while without speaking, just watching. Of all the coves we saw in Croatia, this one remained etched in our memory forever. Incredible!<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/que-ver-en-korcula-pupnatska-luka.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbthings to do in korcula Pupnatska luka\u00bb title_text=\u00bbthings to do in korcula Pupnatska luka\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

13. Vela Luka and Vranac beach<\/h2>\n

At the other end of the island is Vela Luka, the largest town in Kor\u010dula and an important port. It has a more authentic and less touristy feel than the old town, and we liked it precisely for that reason.<\/p>\n

Its Vranac beach was built in 1924 and renovated a few years ago, with services, caf\u00e9s, and a restaurant. It is a good place to stop for food and take a dip if you are traveling across the island, as we did.<\/p>\n

Very close to Vela Luka is the Vela Spila cave, a prehistoric site with remains from over 20,000 years ago. Going around to caves isn’t our thing, but many travelers recommend it if you are interested in the more historical side of the island. It’s just a step away, so it is easy to combine with a visit to the town.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

14. The island of Proizd, one of the unmissable spots in Kor\u010dula<\/h2>\n

Boats leave from Vela Luka to the island of Proizd, one of the unmissable things to do in Kor\u010dula for sea lovers. In 2007, it was voted \u00abthe best beach in the Croatian Adriatic,\u00bb and, according to what many travelers say, the crystal-clear water justifies the fame entirely.<\/p>\n

It is just a few minutes by speedboat. The island has a small pier and a Dalmatian cuisine restaurant, so you can spend the whole day there. If you are looking to escape the crowds and swim in a postcard-perfect sea, put it on your list.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

15. The interior villages: \u017drnovo, Pupnat, \u010cara, and Smokvica<\/h2>\n

Kor\u010dula is not just coast. The interior is full of stone villages surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, such as \u017drnovo, Pupnat, \u010cara, Smokvica, and Blato. Riding through them by motorbike was one of the things we enjoyed most because there was almost no one there.<\/p>\n

This area is the birthplace of Po\u0161ip, the island’s most famous white wine. Between one curve and the next, viewpoints with sea views and family wineries appeared. If you like to get off the beaten path, this quiet interior is a jewel that many miss.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/que-ver-en-korcula-en-moto.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbthings to do in korcula by motorbike\u00bb title_text=\u00bbthings to do in korcula by motorbike\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

16. The town beach of Kor\u010dula<\/h2>\n

If you don’t have a vehicle and want a quick dip, the town beach of Kor\u010dula is just 200 meters from the old town, in the direction of the hotel zone. It is pebbly and has caf\u00e9s and restaurants around it.<\/p>\n

However, keep in mind: being so close to the center and several hotels, it gets quite crowded in peak season. We used it to cool off between walks, but for a full day at the beach, we preferred more remote coves.<\/p>\n

Very close to the old town is also the Zakerjan area (known as Banje): it is not a sandy beach but a rock esplanade next to the walls, but with spectacular views for getting into the water and staying to watch the sunset. If you are staying in the center, it’s the quickest dip you can take.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/playa-de-korcula-luka-korculanska.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbKorcula beach Luka Korculanska\u00bb title_text=\u00bbKorcula beach Luka Korculanska\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

17. Ra\u010di\u0161\u0107e and Samograd Bay beach<\/h2>\n

On the north coast of the island, about 12 km from Kor\u010dula town, is Ra\u010di\u0161\u0107e, a fishing village<\/strong> overlooking the Pelje\u0161ac channel and known for having some of the best pebble beaches in Kor\u010dula (Samograd Bay). <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/racisce-pueblo-korcula.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbRacisce village korcula\u00bb title_text=\u00bbRacisce village korcula\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

Its hidden jewel is Samograd Bay, a secluded cove a couple of kilometers from the village, with white pebbles and transparent turquoise water, nestled between cliffs and pine trees. Many travelers cite it as one of the most beautiful and lonely beaches on the island.<\/p>\n

\n

However, keep in mind: it is reached by a dirt road and a final stretch on foot; it has no services (bring water, food, and water shoes) and almost no shade, so it is best to go early. If you are looking for a wild corner away from the crowds, this is your place.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/playa-samograd-racisce-korcula.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbSamograd beach Racisce korcula\u00bb title_text=\u00bbSamograd beach Racisce korcula\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

18. A sunset on the walls<\/h2>\n

One of the things to do in Kor\u010dula that affected us most was simply sitting to watch the sunset from the walls or from one of the bars with a terrace overlooking the sea. The sun sets behind the Pelje\u0161ac peninsula and paints everything orange.<\/p>\n

It is free, you don’t need to book anything, and it is one of those moments that you remember more than any museum later. In our case, we repeated it for several nights, with a glass of local wine in hand. We had a wonderful time.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/atardecer-en-korcula.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbsunset in korcula\u00bb title_text=\u00bbsunset in korcula\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

19. Explore the island by motorbike or car<\/h2>\n

We close with what for us was the best decision of the trip: renting a motorbike on the island. With it, we could reach coves, viewpoints, and villages that public transport doesn’t reach or reaches very infrequently.<\/p>\n

The island is elongated, and distances are not huge, but the mountain curves make every trip a journey in itself. If you dare, it’s the way to get the most out of the island. And if not, there are bus lines that connect the main villages.<\/p>\n

\n

Traveler tip:<\/strong> book the vehicle in advance during high season.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/korcula-en-moto-racisce.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbkorcula by motorbike racisce\u00bb title_text=\u00bbkorcula by motorbike racisce\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

The island is in southern Dalmatia, separated from the Pelje\u0161ac peninsula by a narrow channel. It is known as \u00abthe island of Marco Polo,\u00bb because legend has it that the famous explorer was born here. Keep one thing in mind: many coves and viewpoints are much more enjoyable if you have your own vehicle. We got around by motorbike, and it was a great success.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/korcula-en-moto.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbkorcula by motorbike\u00bb title_text=\u00bbkorcula by motorbike\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00bb1_3,1_3,1_3″ admin_label=\u00bbads FILA 3 imagen EN\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_module=\u00bb16396″ saved_tabs=\u00bball\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.22.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/travel-insurance-discount-iati.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbtravel insurance discount iati\u00bb title_text=\u00bbtravel insurance discount iati\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/recalculandoviajes.com\/iati-seguros\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.22.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/booking-genius-discount.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbbooking genius discount\u00bb title_text=\u00bbbooking genius discount\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/recalculandoviajes.com\/booking-off\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.22.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/internet-esim-Holafly-OFF.jpg\u00bb alt=\u00bbInternet eSIM – Holafly Discount\u00bb title_text=\u00bbInternet eSIM – Holafly Discount\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/recalculandoviajes.com\/holafly-off\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

Itinerary for Kor\u010dula: things to do in 1, 2, or 3 days<\/h2>\n

How many days should you dedicate? We put together three routes depending on how much time you have. Our heartfelt advice: if you can, stay at least one night on the island. Kor\u010dula changes completely when the day-trippers leave and the old town remains almost for you.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/casco-antiguo-de-korcula.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbold town of korcula\u00bb title_text=\u00bbold town of korcula\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

Things to do in Kor\u010dula in 1 day<\/h3>\n

Arrive early and start with the old town: the Land Gate, St. Mark’s Cathedral (climb the bell tower), the House of Marco Polo, and a walk along the walls. Have a lunch of fresh fish by the sea and in the afternoon escape to the beach in Lumbarda or a quick dip in Zakerjan. End with the sunset from the walls. It is intense, but enough to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/que-ver-en-korcula-de-noche.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbthings to do in korcula at night\u00bb title_text=\u00bbthings to do in korcula at night\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

The first day, the old town at a leisurely pace and the Lumbarda area (Vela Pr\u017eina beach + a tasting of Grk wine). The second, rent a motorbike and go down to Pupnatska Luka, the cove we liked best, combining it with some interior village like \u017drnovo or Pupnat.

Things to do in Korcula in 3 days or more<\/h3>\n

With a third day, you add the other end: Vela Luka, the Vela Spila cave, and, if the weather accompanies, a boat excursion to the island of Proizd or Badija. You also have time to tour the Po\u0161ip wineries in the interior without rush. Three days is, for us, the right amount not to be left wanting more.<\/p>\n
