Gršćica
| |
| |
The small harbour of Grscica lies on the S coast of the island of Korčula in Croatia, six miles E of the SW tip of the island and a mile W of the harbour of Prižba. The inlet in which it sits is partially protected from SW by the sickle-shaped islet of Kosor [[Gršćica#Kosor|Kosor]] 42°54.066'N, 016°45.724'E half a mile offshore.
There is not a lot of space in Grscica, which is popular with leisure fishermen. In settled weather, however, it is a peaceful and unfrequented port of call when sailing along the S coast of Korcula Island.
