DUBROVNIK
Korcula as an Island is very much connected with Dubrovnik as Dubrovnik is one of two larger cities (the other one is Split ) that are in close(r) vicinity of Korcula, particularly to it's Eastern coast.
Korculans travel to Dubrovnik very often: the main hospital that cover the area is in Dubrovnik, so among other things, it is very likely that most of Korculans are actually born in Dubrovnik. Although, there are lot of us that were born here, on the Island, usually due to urgency of the delivery of simple courage of our mothers and their determination not to bother to go anywhere...
Another reason why Korculans know Dubrovnik is because a lot of us where attending a college or university there as there is no university on Korcula Island. Usually, in Dubrovnik people study music, medicine, economics, tourism or management. I also done my degree in economics in Dubrovnik (click to visit my old uni website) so I lived in Dubrovnik for four years as a student. That 4 years gave me plenty of time to explore Dubrovnik and it's surroundings.. Update December 2011: - I started with new Dubrovnik Travel Guide - at the moment the guide includes following chapters:
We also travel to Dubrovnik every time we have to fly from it's airport (we don't have ours yet - but are promissed to get one eventully near Smokvica). Dubrovnik airport is about 150 km away from Korcula Town. It takes about good 2 hrs to drive to the Airport bearing in mind that one has to take ferry to cross from Korcula Town to Orebic on Peljesac Pennsula.
 Presently, there is a regular bus service at least once a day from Korcula to Dubrovnik and back. It leaves Korcula daily early morning (around 6.45 am) and arrives in Dubrovnik around 9.30 am. In the afternoon, at about 3pm, the same bus leaves from Dubrovnik and arrives at Korcula at about 6.30 pm. In the summer months (and sometimes even later/earlier - subject to Bus company's moods) there are two daily services to Dubrovnik and back - the morning one and afternoon one. The afternoon bus leaves Korcula about 4pm to arrive in Dubrovnik at 7 pm. The same bus then rides back to Korcula following morning around 9am. So , if you are lucky, you might even have a chance to choose between these two buses :-) Also, there are ferries that sail to / from Dubrovnik - check out ferry page, where all updates about ferries are available.
