Korčula is known as Croatia’s most laid-back island. It is often referred to as “Little Dubrovnik,“ and with good reason. Offering an abundance of hidden beaches, quaint villages, and unique gastronomical experiences, this island is definitely worth exploring. Since it doesn’t enjoy the same popularity as Croatia’s northern islands Brac and Hvar, Korčula is ideal for those who want to skip crowded places. Vela Luka, Proizd, and Lumbarda are the top destinations here, with ferries and buses servicing to and from Dubrovnik as well as other Croatian islands. Want to experience the magic of this Croatian gem? Check out our list of the top 10 Airbnb vacation rentals in Korčula, Croatia.

The lesser-known Croatian gem
Korčula is the place to go if you want to enjoy the best of the Adriatic Sea and engage in fun activities. However, note that it is very much a seasonal destination. Direct ferry services are available in the summer months (May - October) only, several hotels and local attractions are closed between November and March, and tourist accessibility may not be the easiest during the offseason. Despite that, rest assured that you will not be disappointed by the rawness and beauty of this Croatian island.
