Korcula

Korcula Island is one of the many breathtakingly beautiful islands of the coast of Croatia. It’s easily accessible from both Dubrovnik and Split and makes a great, albeit rushed, day trip. If you had the time you could spend a few days here relaxing, swimming, and wandering around the old town where Marco Polo was (possibly) born.

I loved everything about this island. The old town is gorgeous, you can sit peacefully admiring the harbour, or swim on one of the rocky beaches. The only negative is the 1000s of other tourists and the touristy restaurants in the old town but that seems to be a common problem throughout Croatia. I guess there’s not much chance of having such a beautiful place to myself.
