Why Korcula Old Town matters
Korcula's old town is tiny but perfectly formed. Main streets run along the ridge and smaller lanes branch off at angles, meant to stop strong winds while letting in sea breezes. Climb the walls, peek into small churches and have dinner by the water at sunset. It is like a miniature Dubrovnik with fewer crowds.
Talking points
- The herringbone street plan helps with ventilation.
- Walls and towers still ring the old town.
- It is much quieter than Dubrovnik.
