Add to my wishlist

Like an elegant ship, the island of Korčula sails some distant seas of its own, preserving its originality and spirit that has survived for thousands of years. The perfect combination of pristine landscapes and noble wilderness, wondrous cultural heritage and dynamic cuisine with superb local wines has turned this island into one of the most sought-after destinations in the Adriatic.

The stone backdrop of the old town will tell you the story of the famous explorer and world traveller Marco Polo, who was reportedly born in Korčula, as you walk past elegant palaces, charming squares, and navigate the narrow streets where you can hear the sounds of Moreška, the traditional sword dace from the town of Korčula and get a taste of life in the Mediterranean.

Unlike majestic Korčula, Vela Luka will get under your skin with its creative vigour, as the town that was the birthplace of many great artists. One of them, the legendary late Croatian singer and songwriter Oliver Dragojević, wrote some of his most beautiful songs in celebration of the Dalmatian way of life. 

 

The island of Korčula lives in harmony with this Epicurean lifestyle through its traditional wine varieties Grk and Pošip, unique cuisine, picturesque villages in the interior, and numerous beautiful beaches. The island of Korčula is a unique combination of flavours and aromas that is very easy to fall in love with.

Beaches

Prižba Beach, Korčula

Prižba Beach

Prižba is located at the northern end of the island of Korčula, 8 kilometres from Blato. It consists of several small coves and two little peninsulas, whilst in front of it six uninhabited islets spread out. Along the entire shore there are holiday homes, and there are also several restaurants and small shops.
Pržina Beach, Korčula

Pržina Beach

"What does the word “pržina” mean? “Pržina” is the Lumbarda word for sand. That speaks for itself. The beach is protected from the northern winds, and the shallow cove faces the south allowing pleasant bathing in the pre-season and often until the second half of November. Pržina is a very popular and well-visited beach, therefore it is sometimes overcrowded and it can be difficult to find a place. Both tourists and the local population like Pržina, and everyone comes to the beach for fun and socialising. There are two bars on the beach and you can also hire sunshades and sun loungers. Not only guests from Lumbarda come to the beach, it is also popular amongst tourists from the whole of the island of Korčula. In the past Pržina was only a beach for nudists, however, today nudists come to the rocky part of the cove. Nudists enjoy the crystal-clear water and the privacy with a view of the full beach, which is close to everything, yet at the same time far away from everyone. On the rocky part of the beach there are parts with natural shade under pine trees, and the sunsets from this part of the cove are beautiful. Right next to the beach there is a large car park so Pržina is very easy to get to by car."
