Korcula is one of Croatia's most treasured islands and definitely one to include in your Croatian charter itinerary. This beautiful island, known by the Ancient Greeks as Black Korcula thanks to its lush forests of Aleppo pine, cypress, and oak trees, welcomes its visitors with a colorful cultural heritage and interesting legends. Stroll the enchanting narrow cobbled streets of the town of Korcula, surrounded by 13th-century walls, or enjoy one of the many art exhibitions and summer evening festivals. It's the sixth-largest island in Croatia, at 20 miles long and between 4 and 5 miles wide on average.
