I love Korcula for many reasons. The charming Old town which tells stories about the life of Marco Polo leaves me speechless every time I go back there. The lively main square, where you feel like a local no matter how touristy it gets in the summer is a special place where you can always hear some small talk between locals. This place is vibrant and so historical at the same time. There are so many hidden beaches and peaceful places around the island that I always discover something new and special when I visit. Each of Croatian islands has their own character and specific vibe and Korcula can be praised for its rich history and picturesque villages. Although most people focus on Korcula town, the island has much more to show. Small picturesque vineyards are spread around different areas of the island and the best way to explore Korcula is to drive around at a slow pace. Lumbarda is the favorite of the island's villages, and a must-see.

What I love about Korcula is that you can have both it both ways - you can be alone on a remote beach during the day, but still enjoy busy city vibes in the evening, strolling around narrow streets.

Not just the city, but the entire island of Korcula has wonderful scenery. If you are looking for an island that will give you a bit of peace from all the hustle of Croatia's cities, Korcula is definitely it. There are so many secluded bays and beaches, charming villages all over the island, that you will fall in love instantly.
