Along with popular resorts in Croatia such as Dubrovnik, Split, and Hvar, you can find the picturesque island of Korcula. This small, sunny resort, with an area of only 276 square kilometers, can impress tourists with its landscapes.

Being far away from noisy festivals and luxury hotels, Korcula enchants with its calm and partially uninhabited coastline, unspoiled landscapes and interesting history. According to The Mirror, this island is one of the most beautiful in the Adriatic.

It is believed to have been inhabited since the Neolithic period, as evidence of Illyrian, Greek, and Roman settlements has been found here.

Today, Korcula is a popular tourist destination. The island is known for its beaches, historic towns and wineries.

The Old Town has many historical sights, including St. Mark's Cathedral, the Argentina Palace and the Marco Polo House.
