How to get from Dubrovnik to Korcula
How to get from Dubrovnik to Korcula is a question very often asked in emails and the travel forum. The reason for this is because Dubrovnik is a popular place to visit and Dubrovnik Airport is the nearest to the Island, so people usually fly to Dubrovnik, spend few days there then go to visit Korcula.
There are several options to reach Korcula from Dubrovnik:
The first option is to take a ferry from Dubrovnik to Korcula. The trouble is the ferries to Korcula from Dubrovnik are not very frequent; actually, as it seems from this year, these ferries will operate only from June to September.
The alternative is to take a bus along the coast from Dubrovnik to Korcula. Buses from Dubrovnik to Korcula are in operation every day so they are a much more reliable mean of transport.
Both options are great ways of travelling especially as the weather is usually very nice. There are some excellent views of the islands, bays and vineyards as you travel along the coast and along Peljesac Peninsula.
All necessary info, timetables and maps about both ways to get to Korcula from Dubrovnik are on Travel info Korcula page
And finally, you also have option to drive or be driven from Dubrovnik to Korcula. This option includes possible car rental, taxi or driving with your own car. In case you choose this way of travel, bear in mind that parking around Korcula can be difficult in summer periods, as well as that Korcula Old town is traffic free zone. To add to the trouble there is nowhere to leave the car in Orebic either as parking there is pretty chaotic too. Bearing all of this in mind, my suggestion to you is to use public transport whenever possible.

My daughter is trying to get to Korkula on 15 August but the bus is not an option by the looks of it as her plane is not due to arrive until 14.30. She would obviously then need to disembark and get to Dubrovnik town centre in 30 mins!
The friend she is going to meet there has told her she can pay for a ride on a package tour transfer bus provided there is space. This would be great but obviously she doesn’t want to just turn up and hope. How would she contact these companies?
Money is a big problem so she is not able to get a taxi.
Any suggestions at all please
Is there a bus service from Korkula to Dubrovnik? The price of a return ticket. Tony
