Sveti Nikola - Korcula
Sveti Nikola is a well known area that features palm tree lined promenade in Korcula Town. It runs along the sea from the main Korcula Town Square Plokata to area of Cvjetno Naselje. The street Sveti Nikola has a lot of comfortable benches placed between the palm trees where one can sit and watch the sea, Peljesac Channel, Sveti Ilija Mountain and Korcula Old Town. Sveti Nikola has couple of it's own beaches too:
Actually, most of Sveti Nikola coast is used in a warm weather as one large beach - click to see the video of Sveti Nikola beach life

The best views to Korcula Old Town are from Sveti Nikola. Ok, I agree, I am bit biased with this statement. But I hope it can be forgiven as this is where I live.. Although, I must say - the bad thing about Sveti Nikola is that there is no any cafes or restaurants there. Shame. I particularly missed convenient place in Sveti Nikola to sit and drink coffee in summer 2005 when I broke my leg and had to go with crouches all the way to Plokata to find it...I hope it will be changed soon...
