We used the Taxi Boats to points around Korcula to Badija and across to Orebic. These taxi boats can be located on the east side of the old city. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

I flew to Dubrovnik and decided to check out Korcula. To do this, simply take a Dubrovnik city bus to the main bus terminal which is well away from the old city.
When you get there, it is a giant building almost like an airport. Go to the window, pay something like $20 for a ticket. It is important to either find a bus schedule or show up early (say around 0700). I just showed up at noon and had to wait for the 1500 bus.
The trip north to Korcula takes about 2.5 hours. The bus then gets on a ferry for a quick trip across a 2-mile wide channel to Korcula town on Korcula island. Taking the late bus, I therefore got there in late afternoon.
I heard there was an express ferry from Dubrovnik to Korcula, but missed it. That might be a more scenic trip than the bus, but it is also more expensive. Also, I thought the bus trip was pretty impressive anyway as it wound it's way along the steep valleys and cliffs overlooking the sea. Theme: Bus
