Korčula, an island!
Of the clearest water,
And the brightest blue skies,
And the most ridiculous heat I have ever known.
You have the most charming walled town–
Some say a “mini Dubrovnik,”
With the most delicious wine,
And how can I not mention that seafood risotto?
They say Marco Polo once sailed from here,
Be it true, it’s still fun
To imagine yourself an old timey explorer.
Find a place with a view (like this one),
And maybe rent a scooter (I didn’t and was blue)
And remember to stay hydrated–
and have a swim or two!
My heart still goes aflutter
When I see an image of your water.
And the best I can say,
The best advice I can give, fellow traveler–
Is that three days on Korčula
will not be nearly long enough.
Linking up with Wanderlust Wednesday.

I sometimes forget how beautiful my country is:)) great photos!
Thanks so much! It IS beautiful 🙂
🙂 thanks:)
Oh my goodness, Croatia is so perfect!!! I was thinking about heading to Dubrovnik this autumn but flights from Tromso are just too expensive. Definitely want to explore the country asap though. It seems like heaven on earth!!
It IS quite amazing. I never could get over the color of the water–it seemed to beautiful to be real!! You were able to book a trip in September to Spain at least, right? 🙂
Your photos make me dream about this island! I was very close to visit Croatia this year. I ended up choosing another destination but hope I can visit in the future.
I need to get here ASAP!!! Beautiful town. Your pictures are perfect.
Lovely pictures from Korcula! I’d really love to go there! I’m drooling over that beautiful picture of yours with the Bougainvillea flowers! They’re my favorite! #WednesdayWanderlust
this is almost too beautiful to believe!
Oh my gosh, just wow! That is so much sun, I wouldn’t know what to do with myself! Also, that risotto looks delicious!
Great post!! I will have to keep in mind that a longer stay here is of the utmost necessity. Did you just spend all of your time swimming there because of the heat, or.. ? 🙂
Yes! I completely loved Korcula for all the same reasons. It is so beautiful, the water is stunning, the food is delicious! Sadly most of my three days there were cloudy/rainy so I have very few photos, which actually just made me love yours all the more!
Just stunning – that water and blue sky! And mmm that seafood risotto, serious food envy over here. Definitely on the wanderlust list!
Yahhh, I loved it here! So blue!!
Oh be still my heart! LOVE Korcula!!!
What a stunner of a place 😮 I’m always totally enthralled by Croatia, I have only seen such a small part of the country but loved every inch. And you’ve got to love those bougainvillea. I’m glad you had such a great time, just look at that water…! I don’t know how you didn’t spend the entire 3 days swimming!
