Frequently Asked Questions About Car Rental in Korcula Old Town

Is Korčula Town connected by ferry to Split and Dubrovnik?

Yes. Krilo jetfoil operates a fast catamaran service connecting Korčula Town to Split (2.5 hours) and Dubrovnik (2 hours) during summer. Jadrolinija also operates a slower car ferry from Vela Luka to Split. Check schedules on the Krilo and Jadrolinija websites as they change seasonally.

When is the Moreška sword dance performed?

The Moreška is a traditional armed dance depicting the battle between a Black King and a White King. During the summer season (June–September), it is performed every Thursday evening at the open-air theatre near the Land Gate. Additional performances are scheduled on the feast of St. Theodore (29 July). Tickets are available from agencies in town or at the gate.

Is Marco Polo really from Korčula?

The claim is disputed — Venice also claims him as its own — but Korčula makes a compelling case. The Marco Polo Society has extensively researched the family's Dalmatian connections, and local tradition has maintained the claim for centuries. Whether or not the great explorer was born here, his alleged birthplace makes for a fascinating visit with lovely views.

The entire experience was great. The customer service during online booking was fantastic and the process of picking up and dropping off the car was incredibly convenient. Pedro went above and beyond transporting us a short distance from the ferry terminal to where the car was located. Highly recommend!

Your Guide to Renting a Car at Korčula City Port

Written by Pedro, Avax Rent a Car

Korčula Town is one of the crown jewels of the Adriatic — a perfectly preserved medieval walled city rising from a small peninsula on the northern coast of Korčula island, often referred to as "Little Dubrovnik" for its remarkable similarity to its more famous neighbour. The town's distinctive herringbone street layout was designed by medieval architects to channel the cooling maestral wind through the upper streets while blocking the cold bura in the lower lanes.

The town harbour (Gradska Luka) handles passenger ferries connecting Korčula to Split, Dubrovnik, and the island of Hvar, as well as local services to the Pelješac Peninsula. Our Avax meet-and-greet service at Korčula City Port allows guests arriving by ferry or staying in the Old Town area to collect their vehicle directly at the harbour, without travelling to the Dominče car ferry port 3 km away.

Note that while Korčula Old Town itself is best explored on foot, a rental car is invaluable for accessing the rest of the island — the vineyards around Lumbarda (6 km), the prehistoric Vela Spila cave above Vela Luka (35 km), the quiet coves along the south coast, and the panoramic viewpoint of Sveti Ilija hill (28 km). The island has excellent Pošip and Grk white wines waiting to be discovered at family wineries throughout the interior.

Nearby Attractions

Korčula Old Town

A stunning medieval fortified city on a small peninsula, featuring the Cathedral of St. Mark, the Treasury of the Cathedral, the Town Museum, and the Marco Polo House (the alleged birthplace of the great explorer). The Moreška sword dance is performed on selected evenings in summer.

0 km (you are here)

Marco Polo House

The house claimed to be the birthplace of Marco Polo, the 13th-century Venetian explorer. The tower can be climbed for panoramic views over the old town rooftops and the Pelješac channel.

0.1 km

Lumbarda

A small village and wine region 6 km southeast of Korčula Town, home to the indigenous Grk white grape. The sandy beach at Prižba and the wine cellars around the village are the main draws.

6 km

Orebić (by passenger ferry)

The main town on the Pelješac Peninsula, reachable by passenger ferry from Korčula Town in 15 minutes. Gateway to the Pelješac wine region (Dingač and Postup red wines) and the town of Ston.

4 km (by passenger ferry)

Driving Tips

Note that Korčula Old Town itself is pedestrianised — there is no parking inside the walls. Use the large car park outside the Land Gate (Kopnena vrata) or the parking area near the harbour. For exploring the rest of the island, the DC116 main road is well-signposted from the town outskirts. Fuel is available at the station on the road towards Žrnovo, about 2 km east of the Old Town. The passenger ferry to Orebić departs from the town quay near the Land Gate.
