For those that are familiar with all the tourist destinations that Croatia has to offer, it will come as a surprise that Korcula isn’t among the most popular. Passengers stepping straight off the ferry will witness the impressive architecture and quaint buildings; the quayside is directly beside the medieval historic centre providing an immediate taste of Croatian history. The entire island of Korcula is steeped in history - shipbuilding and maritime have been prevalent for thousands of years, meaning the ferry service is a proud tradition. Korcula has a population nearly entirely consisting of ethnic Croats, boasting a population of just over 15,000 people. It is the second most populated island on the Adriatic Sea, and is labelled ‘Little Dubrovnik’ for its historic buildings and cobbled streets. It is also host to many interesting cultural landmarks, the most famous being the house where legendary explorer, Marco Polo, was born. Whilst that may be the island’s claim to fame, there is also a beautiful cathedral, many uniquely designed streets and several restaurants serving exquisite local food. The charm of the island lies in its small size; it is easy to explore the all the major sights within half a day, meaning the port will be in walking distance for most visitors. The ferry routes from the port are all to other popular areas of Croatia, including the globally recognised tourist areas of Dubrovnik and Split. Most crossings are relatively short and comfortable, with some of the vessels providing the passengers with bars serving food and drink.
Found on the frayed western coast of Hvar island, one of the larger isles that streak along the Dalmatian coast region of Croatia, is the port city of Hvar. The entire community stretches along the edge of a stunning natural bay, its impossible blue Mediterranean waters almost fluorescent beneath the sultry glow of the summer sun. The city outskirts are shaped by steep, limestone hills that rise towards a thriving swathe of olive groves and lavender farms. These slopes are carpeted in verdant pine trees and grassland tinged by the multi-hued blooms of exotic flowers. Hvar’s twist of medieval streets and plazas all lead towards the stunning promenade that curves around the bay. Here the city thrums with life. Handmade arts and crafts are sold beneath canvas-topped market stalls; quaint restaurants and bars, their verandas overlooking the busy marina, hum with cheery conversation; and locals stroll along the flagstones to the sound of the surf gently lapping against the bay’s edge. The port of Hvar is found at one end of the bay, its location marked by a bright green lamppost. There are no facilities here with the ferry terminal consisting of nothing more than a check-in kiosk on a designated corner of the promenade. Travelling to and from the port can prove difficult as it cannot be reached directly by car. Those driving into the city with the intention of using the ferry must find a place to park in the city, though a few parking facilities can be found near the promenade. There is only one main road on the island too. The D116 highway skirts the edge of the city before cutting a weaving path through the hills to the other settlements in the east. Only one route currently operates from the port in Hvar. An SNAV line sails to Pescara on the eastern coast of mainland Italy a few times throughout the week. It’s a route that takes passengers out of the bay and then a relatively short distance across the crystalline waters of the Adriatic Sea.
