Travel information

  • Split Airport is the nearest airport to Korčula. From Split catch the ferry catamaran via Hvar, which takes a couple of hours. If you can’t find a suitable connection from your local airport try flying in to Dubrovnik airport, from where there’s a single bus a day, or you can catch a ferry.
  • If you want to hire a car, we recommend you visit our online partner, Rentalcars.
  • Summer has the nicest weather, but this is peak time for visiting the Dalmatian Coast and between the cruise ships and those restricted by school holidays, it’s pretty busy. So the best times for most of us to visit are May-June or September-October when the days are long and sunny, the sea is still warm enough to swim in, the attractions and restaurants are all open — but you don’t have to queue for them!
