Korcula and Hvar are beautiful , Korcula is more to relax and breath life where Hvar is more party town , I will pick Korcula over Hvar any time …. But both just stunning islands
Hey Mary. Glad it was helpful! Could definitely do two days on each island. A little less time to explore but I think you could see the highlights. Both are beautiful!
I’m going to Korčula in September but after having been to Hvar twice in the last year, honestly, Hvar seems much more beautiful landscape-wise. The smaller towns were virtually empty in the heat of summer and even Hvar the town was still empty in late May vs when we went in August last year (before peak tourist season). Most of the places we went to in Hvar last May (especially local restaurants) were almost only filled with locals
That is a great point. I wish we had had more time to explore outside of Hvar town especially outside peak season. Would love to hear how you like Korčula!
We have 5 days, departing korchula on Sept 9th to visit hvar and brac. Do you recommend staying on one island and taking the ferry for the day to the other. We have to be in split on the 14th to fly home on the 15th. Packing up to move every few days is a lot.
Great information. Question, what month were you there? We have 5 full days, with a car, trying to fit in Dubrovnik, Kurcola, Zadar, Split and Plitvice National park!! Is it too much? Which would you cut?
Hey Perla, are you driving or flying into Croatia? I would personally find that schedule too rushed. Dubrovnik and Plitvice were our favorites! I think you could add either Hvar or Korcula to the itinerary although it would be a bit rushed. I haven't been to Zadar so I can't comment on visiting there. Split was our least favorite of those locations, so maybe skip it unless you would really like to see Diocletian's Palace. I think with only 5 days choosing 2-3 locations would be best so you have time to explore.
Hvar is a beautiful island. I think you would have a great time in either one! Personally would spent two nights on one of the islands so that you don’t spend so much time in transit. How were you planning to get to Hvar? If you are coming from Split, Hvar makes a lot of sense because it’s so close. If you’re coming from Dubrovnik, I would recommend Korcula.

Any coomments on Stari Grad on Hvar island? Looking for something quiet & laid back
We rented a 16’ boat with a 5hp outboard for $75 on havr and went out to the paklinski islands . It’s a great way to spend the day
Nice review, as a local in Split, I mostly agree with you. Good sectioning of the video, keep up the good work 😊
Thanks so much! We really enjoyed visiting.
Spent a week in Split and had a great time there too.
Ty do much! Week in Korcula and weekend in hvar it is ❤
Looking for a small historic hotel or BnB in old city Korcula or old city Havar?

The town of Hvar on the island of Hvar is more for the jet set, in the other towns of Starigrad Jelsa or Zavla it is much more relaxed.

We realy love croatia as well
We have 2 nights booked in hvar. Now I’m wondering if I shd cancel and book in Korcula. Or shd I do 1 night in Korcula and 1 night in hvar?

Well korcula is better while hvar is more expensive and more about jet setters. You are bettef off going to hvar starigrad.
