8. Korčula Island: perfect for wine lovers
Cloaked in vineyards, olives and Aleppo pines, Korčula is one of the greenest of the Croatian islands. It is also one of the most popular, thanks largely to the charms of its main settlement, Korčula Town, whose surviving fortifications jut decorously out to sea like the bastions of an overgrown sandcastle.
The island has a varied collection of inviting beaches too. Visit the white sands of Lumbarda, 7km away from Korčula Town. Or spend time at the secluded pebbly coves on the south coast, and dramatic slabs of rock on the islet of Proizd, just off the port town of Vela Luka.
Top tip: Two spectacular Croatian destinations in one day! On this day trip from Dubrovnik, you will enjoy the spectacular Mediterranean scenery of the glittering Peljesac peninsula, the ancient beauty of Korcula island, and their delicious food and wine culture.
