Getting to Korcula Island

Ferries to Korcula

Car Ferries

Korcula Town is on the major coastal ferry line that runs from Rijeka to Dubrovnik stopping at Split and Hvar. The other point of entry for the island is Vela Luka, about 20km west of Korcula Town. There's a daily car ferry from Split to Vela Luka that stops at Hvar Town twice a week. See the schedule at Jadrolinija.

Passenger ferries

You can also take the "Krilo" catamaran from Korcula Town to Hvar Town and then Split. It runs daily in summer and around three times a week in the off-season. See the schedule.

Even better for those planning a day trip to Korcula from Dubrovnik is the new catamaran route on the "Nona Ana", (see photo above left) that runs from Dubrovnik to Korcula in the morning, stopping at Mljet and Sipan before heading back to Dubrovnik in the afternoon.  See the schedule.

Buses to Korcula

Buses to Korcula Town meet most boats landing in Vela Luka and there are regular, if infrequent, bus links to other towns on the island. In addition, there's a daily bus connecting Korcula Town to Dubrovnik via Orebic as well as buses to Zagreb and Sarajevo.

Driving to Korcula

As Korcula is an island, naturally, you'll need to take some ferries to transport your car but the following is a good route to take if you have a car but the ferry schedules above are inconvenient: Drive to Ploce on the mainland, take one of the regular ferry shuttles to Trpanj; drive across the Peljesac Peninsula and take the ferry shuttle from Orebic to Domince (a few km outside Korcula Town). If coming from Dubrovnik, you could simply drive across the Peljesac peninsula to the ferry shuttle at Orebic. It's a pretty drive. Get the shuttle ferry schedules at Jadrolinija.
