The Croatian island of Korcula lies in the Adriatic Sea, just off the Dalmatian coast. It is separated from the Peljesac Peninsular by the narrow Strait of Peljesac which is between 900m and 3,000m wide. The island is the sixth largest in the Adriatic Sea and measured around 47 km in length and 8 km wide, with a total area of around 280 sq. km. Interesting attractions on the island include the Gothic and Renaissance building of St. Mark's Cathedral which is located in the old town of Korcula. It was built in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries and is definitely worth a visit. For sun worshippers Korcula has a lot of small and secluded beaches dotted over the island, with the most popular ones being the sandy beach Vela Przina in Lumbarda and the pebble beach Pupnatska Luka.
Korcula is linked to the mainland by a regular ferry service that runs between Domince, just outside of Korcula Town and Rijeka, Split, Stari Grad, Dubrovnik and Mljet.
Stari Grad is a popular location that is a gateway to the Paklenica National Park and lies around 45 km to the north east of Zadar. The city is situated on the northern side of the island of Hvar in the Dalmatia region of Croatia and lies at the east of a long protected bay and is thought to be one of the oldest towns in Europe. Buses make the town easy to reach, stopping in the centre, as well as outside of the Hotel Alan on the Dr. Franje Tudmana. Many people come to Stari Grad to take advantage of the plentiful camp sites there, especially since the adjacent National Park does not permit camping.
By wandering around Stari Grad's centre, along its narrow streets and through small squares, it is not hard to appreciate its historic past and perhaps its most popular attraction is Tvrdalj, which is a large a well preserved castle that once belonged to the Croatian poet Petar Hektorovic. Notice the Latin and Croatian inscriptions in the walls and the statue of Petar Hektorovic in front of the castle.
From the town's port, ferry services operate to Pescara, Ancona, Rijeka, Korcula, Dubrovnik and Mljet.
