Korcula is an island definitely worth of visiting and exploring. One of the most beautiful places to see is the town Korcula, that is surrounded by walls from 13 century and if you walk just a bit further through the streets you will get to the St. Peter cathedral which was built from a honey colored stone. We can not miss to mention two other places on Korcula.
First is Lumbarda, located only 6 km from Korcula town, considered to be founded from Greeks from island Vis. Today the place is known for the desert vine Grk made from grapes grown on sand and nice small beaches that are just a hidden peaceful places to enjoy.
The second one is Vela Luka, 45 km west from Korcula, the biggests place on the island surrounded by attractive bays and numerous islets.

First one is ' Moreška' the dance with a sword that is performed every Thursday as a tourist event. Second one is 'Kumpanij' dedicated to st. Vicencija, that celebrates with music and dance.
In the 60s from the previous century it has started the development of a health tourism all due to finding the healing sludge that helps with prevention of many skin and rheumatic diseases.
