Route choice
For most visitors, “Hvar to Korčula” means Hvar Town to Korčula Town. That is the practical choice for Korčula Old Town and Lumbarda. Seasonal sailings to Prigradica can suit Blato and north-central Korčula, while Vela Luka is the better arrival for the west of the island.

Useful for Blato and north-central Korčula when it operates. The fastest seasonal crossings are about 50 min, so check the exact date before planning around it.
