Hotel Park se nalazi na samoj obali, okrenut ka korčulanskom zalivu i sa pogledom na Stari grad Korčulu. Već pri prvom pogledu je jasno da je ovo hotel niske kategorije, sa užasnom arhitekturom koja je oličenje soc-realizma, ali je zato i cena odgovarajuća smeštaju.

Hotel Liburna zauzima mali "rt" koji gleda ka korčulanskom starom gradu. Sagrađen je 1985. godine kao vrlo ambiciozan turistički objekat sa četiri zvezdice, ali sada ima tri zvezdice, jer nije renoviran.

Hotel Marko Polo je smešten u najmirnijem delu Korčule, na početku isključivo pešačke zone koja vodi ka starom delu grada. Ovaj hotel je od svog otvaranja uvek uspevao da održi nivo usluge na zavidnom nivou, a 2006. / 2007. godine je kompletno renoviran, tako da je sada jedini hotel u Korčuli koji ima četiri zvezdice, i to sa razlogom.

U prelepom Zaljevu školjki, preko puta brojnih luksuznih privatnih kuća, nalazi se kompleks Bon Repos. Od Starog grada Korčule se može doći dužom šetnjom kroz park (preko 3 km), sopstvenim prevozom, ili taxi brodićima.

Zgrada hotela Korčula je izgrađena 1912. (tada se hotel zvao Hotel de la Vile), što se i vidi po predivnoj arhitekturi, tipičnoj za mondenska letovališta na Mediteranu tog vremena. Ovo je prvi hotel otvoren na Korčuli i Korčulani su veoma ponosni na njega. Smešten je odmah ispod zidina tvrđave starog grada, sa pogledom na more i pristanište za luksuzne jahte i brodove koji krstare Jadranom.

Badija have always been my favorite excursion place. It is a small island next to Korčula with beautiful beaches and rich nature. And when I say small, I mean really small - only 1 sq km. The name Badija (pronounced as 'Badiya") originates from the Latin name "abbatial" which means "abbey".
The first thing you see when you approach the island is 14th century Franciscan monastery (founded in 13th century), built in Gothic style. I remember that during 70's and 80's this monastery was used as a hostel, mostly for Czecho-Slovakian tourists, but in 2003 the state returned it to its original owne

[16/05/2008] I'm very lucky that my daughter shares my enthusiasm when it comes to visiting museum, galleries and historical sites. Therefore, it was natural that we decided to visit the Korčula Town Museum. My husband prefers historical sites and he's not so keen about museums, so he decided to pass this one.
Lady in Museum was pleasantly amazed to see that a child wants to visit the museum (while daddy decided to stay outside) that she did not want to charge us the admittance fee for her. "The custodian is out for a while, but he'll be back soon", she said. Now why that sounded so familiar to me? I star

[13/05/2008] I've stayed in this hotel on a business occasion, regional gathering, organized by the company that I've worked for.
The hotel is located on top of Sljeme hill (pronounced as "Slyeme"), just 30 minutes ride from Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, but place is so tranquil and nature is so beautiful, undisturbed by vicinity of a big city. The architecture is a mixture of mountain house and modern glass building, but those two styles are finely united. The lobby is nicely decorated, with warm colors and comfortable seats. Behind lobby, there is small but cute snack bar, where smoking is allowed. Th

[03/05/2008] Moreška was always my favorite event. I remember those warm Mediterranean nights from my childhood when I was sneaking with local kids trying to peak through plastic screens covering the fence to the "stadium" where Moreška was performed and hiding from "the evil guard". Boys were pretending to be red and black soldiers and girls were sighing imagining how they would play the princess, when they grow up. I wanted to be a princess too, but unfortunately, I wasn't local, so I didn't have the chance to become Bula - ever. And in fact "the evil guard" was the old man who was selling tickets and he
