Korčula Travel Guide
Known as mini-Dubrovnik, Korčula Town is a fortified medieval settlement laid out in a clever herringbone pattern to protect against harsh winds. It is quieter, more laid back, and noticeably better value than Hvar.

Saint Mark Cathedral Bell Tower
€4.00🛏️ Where to Stay
Stay in the Borak or Saint Anthony (Sveti Anton) residential areas, just a 5 to 10 minute flat walk from the walled old town.
🚇 Getting Around
The old town is completely pedestrian. Catamarans connect directly to Split and Dubrovnik in about 2 hours.
🥖 Eating for Less
Eat at Konoba Belin in nearby Zrnovo for homemade zrnovski makaruni pasta, or buy local Posip white wine directly from family cellar doors.
Worth Paying For
Climbing the Marco Polo Tower and Saint Mark Cathedral Bell Tower (4 Euros) gives great vistas over the Peljesac channel.
Skip / Save Your Money
Marco Polo alleged birthplace museum is tiny and has very little historical content; save the 5 Euros.
Common Tourist Traps & Money Mistakes
Avoid restaurants sitting right on the seaside promenade (Kanavelic) which charge high location fees. Dine inside the interior stone alleys.
