A fabulous Selection of hand picked properties in the Pollensa Area, North Mallorca
Korčula is the sixth largest Croatian island, spanning around 32km and characterised by its very thin and long shape. It’s a beautiful place with dense natural scenery and little historic towns, retaining a peaceful atmosphere even in the busy summer months.
Despite the brilliant range of things to see and do on Korčula, the island isn’t as popular as some of its northern rivals because it is further away from the big cities like Split and Dubrovnik. This makes it a great choice for travellers who really want to relax on their holiday to Croatia, so if this sounds like you then why not browse our selection of villas in Korčula below.

Korčula was first occupied by the Illyrian tribes who ruled most of Dalmatia until the island was colonised by the ancient Greeks. It was known primarily for the large, thick forest that gave it the nickname Black Korcula (Kerkyra melaina).
Korčula has a typical climate of a Mediterranean island; hot and dry summer and cooler, wetter winters. If you really love the heat and want to soak up as much sun as possible then June to August is the best time of year to visit, whereas tourists who prefer to visit in the off-season should opt for May or September when the island will be quieter.

One of Korčula’s biggest claims to fame is that it was the birthplace of famous merchant and traveller Marco Polo, so if you visit the island then a great thing to do is visit his alleged childhood home. If you’d rather sunbathe than sightsee, you can catch a boat from Korčula to nearby Proizd for a beautiful deserted island experience where you won’t be disturbed by many other tourists.
