Korcula Town Attractions

Located at the northeastern tip of Korcula Island, the town of Korcula faces out over the channel (Pelieski Kanal) towards the mountains that line the Peljesac Peninsula. Behind the town are green pine covered hills that make up most of Korcula Island. Dating to the 15th Century, Korcula is a fortified town with defense walls and towers around the old town. Most of the major attractions lie within the old town, where the buildings are tightly packed and topped with red roofs but most of the accommodation is in a more modern section a short distance from the town center. The new section of town is also where most merchants and artisans have set up shop.
