Greetings from Korcula! (The island, and town, is pronounced “Kor-chu-la”). After a leisurely breakfast at Hotel Plecka this morning, we left Dubrovnik at 9:30 for our journey to Korcula, located off the northern end of the Peljesac Peninsula. It was a warmer morning than yesterday, and another bright and sunny day. We drove north from Dubrovnik along the spectacular coastline, winding and tw... Read Full Entry

Lucky you
Hi girls, what a fit great place to visit. Have always heard wonderful raves about Croatia from friends who have travelled there. We are really enjoying your blog and the picturesque photos. Just a teensy bit jealous though. We are both well and have a new addition to the family, Benny is a black miniature schnauzer. Grant is finally retired @ 75 and they are great mates. I work 3 days a week since I turned 70 in June. Still fit and enjoying nursing but it has been a challenge during Covid. Keep safe and have a great time. 👋xx

Oyster tasting

Tasting after tasting
I feel to understand a culture you must experience the food. Looks like you are doing a good job... and a bit of wine also. The architecture is lovely also.

Apartments
I'm intrigued by the apartments Lori - is it like a homestay (but without food) or more like an Airbnb that Intrepid is using instead of a hotel? Hope all the apartments were all as lovely as yours sounds :)

Apartments
I would say it’s more of an Air B&B that Intrepid uses. The apartments we had in Korcula and Hvar were really good, both in excellent locations in the old town, and very local-feeling. The one in Sibenik wasn’t so well located (a bit of a distance from the old town) and we had to share a small kitchen area with others on the floor. It was unfortunate since we were there four days - we really would have liked being right in the old town.

Beautiful
Gosh, how beautiful. I've rarely read much about Croatia beyond Dubrovnik, so lovely to read about this little place and see the photos. There's nothing like a short boat ride to arrive in a new place I think. And well done on braving the steep stairs - there's often a good view up these things waiting as a reward!

I really loved Korcula - it was such a lovely old town, so walkable. And yes, the views were well worth the steps!
