First and foremost, the no. 1 place to visit on Korčula is, essentially, anywhere and everywhere! Any little bay will do, as we believe this is the best that the island has to offer

The town of Blato (near Vela Luka) is the working heart of the island. Fewer tourist-filled streets uncover the towns hidden gems, including an ethnographic museum and fourteenth-century Convent

The island of Vrnik is part of the Korčula archipelago. A former centre for stonemasonry and now a thriving artist community, it has a unique atmosphere with some great swimming spots

Just outside Korčula town is St. Nicholas' church/monastery, with some stunning views over the old town. It is the perfect spot for an early-morning yoga/pilates session or to simply relax and unwind after a long day

The area of Defora, near Zrnovo, boasts some incredible scenery. Korčula's famous dry-stone walls adorn the incredibly steep cliffs, leading to some great swimming spots down below
VELA LUKA
Vela Luka is at the northern tip of the island and is where the majority of ferries dock. Located in a large bay, it is very much a working town, offering some lovely restaurants and good connections to places such as the island of Proizd. Above the town is the 18,000-year-old cave Vela Spila
ČARA
The Church of St. Peter
Visit the parish church of St Peter in Čara, which dates back to the 15th century (although the bell tower collapsed and a new one was completed in the 20th century). A centuries-old cypress grows on a small paved square in front of St Peter’s church. It's supposed to be one of the oldest Cypress trees in Croatia

The 14th-century chapel, in the vineyards below Čara, holds alabaster reliefs (once in colour) that belong to the late Gothic period and are of English origin; they were made in a workshop in Nottingham in the 15th century. The story goes that they were found washed ashore in the nearby bay of Čavića
The bay of Žitna
Visit Žitna, the next bay over from Zavalatica. Its a short 5-10 minute drive from Čara and is a great place for families to relax on its pebble beach and enjoy swimming in its turquoise waters

Watch the sunset from the top of the mountain just behind the house. It's definitely a great photo-op with 180-degree views of Lastovo and the Adriatic. Just follow the road which leads to a path up to the top, where the flag is
