Korčula Old Town: A Walk Through History With Crystal-Clear Views

#croatianislands On the island of #Korčula, Croatia, lies one of the most beautiful medieval towns in the Adriatic. Enclosed by stone walls and overlooking turquoise waters, the Old Town of Korčula feels like stepping back in time. From its cobblestone streets to breathtaking sea views, this is a place you’ll want to explore slowly. #Korčula #croatia

📖 Why I loved it
Walking through the narrow alleys is completely free and incredibly rewarding. The charming architecture, historic squares, and lively cafés make it perfect for wandering. The Old Town’s unique fishbone layout was designed centuries ago to protect against strong winds—a detail that adds to its character.

🏛 Things to see
✔️ St. Mark’s Cathedral: A stunning example of Gothic-Renaissance architecture.
✔️ The Town Museum: Entry approx €4–5, showcasing Korčula’s history and culture.
✔️ The Tower: Climb it for panoramic views of the red rooftops and the sparkling Adriatic.
✔️ A small pebble beach with crystal-clear water is just steps away from the walls—ideal for a refreshing swim after exploring.

🚤 How to get there
I took a ferry from #split to Korčula (approx 2.5–3 hours). Booking tickets and accommodations on Trip.com made planning seamless and let me focus on enjoying the journey.

🌟 Why I recommend it
This Old Town combines history, culture, and natural beauty effortlessly. Whether you’re here for a few hours or a full day, it’s a magical stop on any Croatian island-hopping adventure.

📌 Tip: Go in the early morning or late afternoon to enjoy the town at its quietest and catch the golden light for photos.
