This idyllic island is a hit with families, thanks to its lively, medieval port town and handful of secluded beaches with crystal-clear water. Museums and markets add another option on top of beachside lazing, while the eateries are abundantly stocked with local wine. The Old Town is also a highlight!

A medieval walled town

Korcula Town is a photogenic cluster of old stone buildings perched on top of a peninsula that juts out into the Adriatic Sea. According to local legend, this is where famous explorer Marco Polo was born. There’s plenty to explore inside its 14th century walls, including a few museums and historic houses.

Sandy beaches and island-hopping

Korcula has a good few beaches along its shoreline. The south coast tends to be sandy, especially the stretch at Lumbarda, while the northern shore’s pebbly, with warm, transparent waters and a swathe of pine forest as a backdrop. And it’s easy to get a ferry to Korcula’s next-door island, Lastovo.
