Villas in Korčula

Holiday homes and villas in Korčula offer the privacy and comfort of your own space while you explore the town’s rich cultural heritage and the island’s natural beauty. Korčula is a town where medieval history meets Mediterranean life, with narrow streets, picturesque squares and centuries of maritime tradition behind its stone walls. Set on a peninsula on the northeastern coast of the island of the same name, it is one of the best-preserved fortified towns on the Adriatic.

Korčula’s old town is known for its distinctive fishbone street layout, designed to allow air to circulate and reduce the force of the wind. St Mark’s Cathedral rises above the stone rooftops, while Revelin Tower and the house traditionally associated with Marco Polo are among the town’s best-known landmarks. The moreška holds a special place in the town’s cultural life: this traditional chivalric sword dance is performed in elaborate costumes and is one of the most recognisable symbols of Korčula’s heritage. Summer evenings also bring concerts and klapa singing, with a lively atmosphere in the stone streets and squares.

Staying in a holiday home in Korčula gives you the chance to explore the whole island, from its pebble and rocky beaches to the vineyards that produce Korčula’s well-known wines. Not far from the town lie Lumbarda, known for its sandy beaches and the indigenous grk grape variety, and the picturesque islets of the Korčula archipelago, notably Badija with its Franciscan monastery. After a day at sea or exploring the island, returning to Korčula brings a very different experience: illuminated stone walls, the murmur of voices from terraces and evening walks through a town where history is still part of daily life.
