Korčula There are Port(s) of Entry here
| |
| |
Korčula Island lies off the mainland coast of Croatia, 10 miles N of the smaller island of Lastovo and 12 miles S of the island of Hvar. At its easternmost point, at the Town of Korčula, it is only just over a mile from the Pelješac peninsula on the mainland, which stretches for 65 km from the settlement of Ston at its base to Cape Lovista at its head. Korčula itself stretches E-W for 47 km but is no more than 8 km wide at its widest point.
Like Brač to the north, Korčula was an important source of quarried stone during the long period of Venetian rule and also had a flourishing shipbuilding industry. Today the island’s prosperity is largely due to wine and olive oil production and— naturally—tourism. In addition to the main harbour and island capital of Town of Korčula, which hosts an ACI-operated marina, there are a total of nine other smaller harbours around the coasts of the island and some 12 anchorages along its deeply indented S and E coasts.
