Impressions of Korcula by Johanna from London UK

Impressions of Korcula�by Johanna from London UK :

I spent 3 days in Korcula with my girlfriend in August.�We took the boat from Split and arrived after 3 hours.�The first sight of the island was a lovely contrast to the city-vibe of Split.�The small, historic town of Korcula was surrounded by hills and beaches and had a really relaxing atmosphere.�We enjoyed sitting in the cafes, drinking our afternoon cappuccinos and the cakes were totally delicious (very much recommended!).�The best place (for afternoon cakes and music) we found was Bohemia, in a quiet street behind the boat taxi point.�And it was also a good place to stop for a drink in the evening.

A word of warning. Be careful of the market traders in the centre of the town.�It looks a very quaint market with stalls in a nicely arranged circle with lovely looking fruit.�But with no prices displayed!�This should have been a sign to us, but we were not being that streetwise and got totally ripped off.�Just to let you know.

Otherwise, we had a lovely stay in nice apartments in the old town.�We are sure to go back. (Johanna UK, 2006)
