A Tour of Korcula Island, Croatia in the Adriatic Sea

[@josiesnead2744]

Had a week here last year, heaven on earth love the peoples patriotism, so proud of their country and heritage, beautiful christian country

Although Im not born there I am proud of my Croatian heritage as well....such a cool little country.

I visited Croatia for the first time a few years ago, this region in fact although not Korcula. I didn't know what to expect but it completely blew me away. I think as far as the Mediterranean goes Croatia is the very best of It. It's paradise.

Lovely. Croatia is beautiful 😊❤️🌷🌹🌻🌴🙃

[@ivan00001983]

I traveled all over Europe and actually missed the most beautiful part of it, which is in my home country - Croatia. For me personally it is Dalmatian islands, especially southern ones. I've been in St. Tropez, Nice, Cannes and all those places for me don't come close to the beauty of nature and small Mediterranean towns on Southern Dalmatian islands.

[@AltarenGalil]

I remember visiting this island along with Hvar and others as a kid. My family spent most of my childhood holidays in Dalmatia and this brings back a lot of fond memories.

[@dzonikg]

Me to..i was teenager and my parents loved Orebic and we would go there in summer and then would visit Korcula with a boat witch is just few km away ..that was late 80s..last time was there 1990 ...there was always some school from Zagreb and met so many other kids there

[@turntomax4264]

What a beautiful island! I love your style of filming, especially the way the camera shows art, statues, and informational plaques. I feel like I'm actually there reading the info and looking at the statues. I always try door handles (public buildings!) when I travel too! Love the music you choose on all your videos and I had no issue viewing this new vid. Thanks for sharing!

[@dolorescardenas3853]

Beautiful! Croatia is also part of the EU and more expensive than the other Balkin counties for sure.

[@bryanbell8244]

It depends where in the world you live i think. Compared to the UK Hvar old town was expensive, eg two coffees and two cakes were about £15. In Stari Grad a similar treat was less than £8. We found Korcula to be good value as was Porec and Trogir. Dubrovnic is an absolute legend but, again, because of it's heritage, is a little more expensive on most items but relatively cheap on others. The view from the old fortress on top of the mountain is never to be forgotten. We have always felt at home in Croatia, very little street crime anywhere, no beggars, friendly locals and some excellent beers !

[@sonja8282]

Great video Gabriel. Really enjoyed it. Croatia is expensive but it is mainly on the coast because of the tourism and because the season is so short (Jun -Sep). Food in Zagreb and other inland towns is much cheaper. Also, another thing is that you don’t have to tip in Croatia as much as we tip in US or Canada. I am Croatian, living in Canada for many years. I visited Croatia last year and my friends told me to just leave a small amount in cash for the waiter. They usually don’t share the tip with other staff (kitchen, hosts, etc.) so the tip can be smaller. If you pay by credit card do not leave a tip on the credit card because it will not go to the waiter/staff. So just leave a small amount in cash directly to waiter.

[@rogerhudson9732]

Restaurants : Ask for the 'Gotvo Jela' , a small menu of daily dishes rather than the 'a la carte' menu. In Hvar Gabriel ate in the small but very highly rated restaurant that is the most expensive , after the 'Gariful' on the Riva, in the Town of Hvar. In Starigrad Gabriel also chose the most expensive restaurant, LOL.

[@katd6580]

He sure did!! I thought the prices in Hvar were very good.

[@dcmed1]

Oh !!! Gabriel said $16 dollars one mojito drink ,and $45 dinner , ouch!!! He went to the most expensive!!! Oh Gabe!!!

[@dcmed1]

That Gotvo Jela then, is like here in USA, to ask for "The house special " then if this one of the most expensive restaurant in this area. The overall is ok. Anyway , when is time to travel , we must to be ready to $$$$$$$ . I'm not cheap.

Hi Gabe... While you are on Korcula... I highly recommend you take a drive to Žitna beach on the south of the island. It's the best beach there imo :)
And if you are planning on going to Mljet next (you should go) again go to the south of the island and visit Odisejeva špilja. There's a very nice cliff jumping spot there.
Vis, Korcula and Mljet are my favourite islands there :)

I think you should come to Albania. It is much cheaper than Croatia and is a Beautiful country. You will be surprised by our riviera beaches and even by the Adriatik beaches in north Albania with their sand and their blue water sea. Albania is a beautiful country I don't know why foreigners visit only well-known country in the Balkans such is Croatia and they still haven't seen the beauty of our mountains, rivers and beaches. I can only mention to you a few beautiful places you can check in the internet and find out their are marvelous: the Albanian Riviera ( in the Jon sea), the Rana e hedhun ( in the Adriatik sea ), our mountains in Valbona and Theth, the Shala river. And this are only few of them like I mention.

I was hoping you would go through the village where my husband’s grandparents and the grandfather of my best friend came from, which is Lombarda. There are a lot of folks from there here in the San Francisco Bay Area; they even had a Lombarda Club at one time. The island looks so beautiful and idyllic that one can’t imagine why people would want to leave it! But, the older generation who left did so because of war, politics and for opportunities offered them in other countries. As for the Marco Polo story, Korcula and much of Croatia was part of Venice at one time, which means he could have been born in Korcula and still have been born in Venice! 🙃 Thank you for this lovely tour. I hope my husband and I make it there some day.

Hi Gabriel , loving these vids on Croatia , I've traveled extensively throughout eastern Europe and indeed the Balkans , absolutely stunning region of the world , fantastic food , people are super friendly and it's cheap plus the beer is great lol . I've been watching your vids with a particular eye on the cost of day to day living expenses , I was aware of Croatia not being the cheapest of destination's especially in comparison to other countries in the region ,so I'm just wondering if there is much of a hostel / backpacking scene ? And also if it's a viable option to catch public transport ( buses ) etc on the islands ? Keep up the good work my man , really appreciate the time and effort that you go through to bring us these videos , and it definitely helps with my wanderlust ... Thanks again , happy and safe travels amigo 👍🍻
