Punta Jurana is area in Korcula Town that includes stretch of the coast / pier from Plokata to Borak.
Punta Jurana has couple of cafes, nice ice-cream place called "Kiwi", bus stop and local marina too. Punta Jurana is popular summer evenings promenade.
The "important" feature of Punta Jurana is Tablun - long and narrow bench that is located next to Tri Sulara, on the little plato of Punta Jurana. On that bench every afternoon (weather permitting), a number of old(er) local man has their regular meeting point to discuss anthing they didn't discuss in their morning session at Plokata Square.
Nice place to sit on Punta Jurana are steps that lead to plato and passage to Plokata. It has good views on passing by people and boats at marina. I take every opportunity to do that whenever I can :-)

Photo of Tri Sulara (Three Balconies) at Punta Jurana - The well known balconies that are featured in popular Dalmatian folk song " I tri sulara su, i tri sulara su, na Puntu Jurana, na Puntu Jurana ..lalalala ...etc..". The song is about three beautiful sisters that were sitting on these three balconies and local guys were comming to sing them serenades. Romantic :-)
