Korcula is the most populated Croatian island. Being one of the biggest middle dalmatian islands it is situated in its most southern part close to Dubrovnik. Vela Luka is connected with ferry lines with Split daily, while a ferry to Korcula Town goes several times a week, even from Dubrovnik. The best connection is a line from the top of the peninsula of Peljesac Orebic to Dominče, a port right next to the town of Korcula, where a ferry goes a dozen times a day and the journey takes 15 minutes. There is also a link from the center of the Makarska Riviera Drvenik to Dominče. There are catamaran lines that you can also use. Korcula and all Croatian islands are characterized by Mediterranean climate and a vegetation of pine forests, olive groves and vineyards. The island was inhabited by Greeks as early as the 6th century BC, then it was conquered and settled by the Romans and eventually by the Croats. Korcula was a part of the Croatian kingdom, however, conquerers were not idle so it fell under the rule of Venice, afterwards under Napoleon, Austro-Hungary, the old Yugoslavia, and Italy in World War II. The stormy history of Korcula and the entire Croatia could be seen through historical remains that invaders had left behind. It could be best seen in the town of Korcula, called Dubrovnik in minor, with its well conserved medieval walls.

Korčula je najnaseljeniji hrvatski otok. Od većih srednjedalmatinskih otoka, smjestio se najužnije i najbliže Dubrovniku. Vela Luka i Grad Korčula su povezani trajektnim linijama sa Splitom i to Vela Luka dnevno, dok trajekt do Grada Korčule vozi nekoliko puta tjedno, kao i iz Dubrovnika. Najbolja povezanost je linija sa vrha poluotoka Pelješca iz mjesta Orebić- do luke Dominče pored Grada Korčule, gdje trajekt vozi desetak puta dnevno a vožnja traje 15-tak minuta. Također postoji i veza iz mjesta Drvenika na Makarskoj rivijeri do Dominča. Postoje i katamaranske linije koje možete koristiti. Korčulu kao i sve hrvatske otoke karakterizira mediteranska klima i vegetacija sa borovom šumom, nasadima maslinika i vinogradima. Otok su naselili Grci još u 6. stoljeća prije Krista, nakon toga je osvajaju i naseljavaju Rimljani i naposljetku dolaze Hrvati. Korčula je bila dio Hrvatskog kraljevstva, međutim osvajači nisu mirovali, pa je pala pod Veneciju, Napoleona, Austro-Ugarsku, staru Jugoslaviju, Italiju u drugom svjetskom ratu. Burna povijest kako Korčule, tako i cijele Hrvatske vidi se u povijesnim ostacima koji su osvajači ostavljali iza sebe. Najbolje je to vidljivo u Gradu Korčuli, koji nazivaju Dubrovnik u malom, sa izuzetno očuvanim srednjevjekovnim zidinama.
