8Korčula, Croatia
Dubbed “Little Dubrovnik,” Korčula is one of Croatia’s most beautiful yet overlooked islands. Located in the Adriatic Sea, Korčula boasts charming medieval architecture, sandy beaches, and lush vineyards. The island’s Old Town, with its narrow, cobblestone streets and terracotta-roofed buildings, offers a more laid-back alternative to the bustling city of Dubrovnik.
Korčula is also known for its rich cultural heritage, with traditional sword dances and local wines like Pošip adding to the island’s appeal. With fewer tourists than other Croatian islands, Korčula offers a serene retreat with a distinct blend of history and nature.
