Korcula?? Never heard of it 🤣🤣 What an awesome experience guys! You guys did about a million more things than we did in Korcula. It is definitely one of our top favorite places ever. Definitely have to return in the summer sometime. All the best guys!
We have you both to thank for the suggestion!! 🙏🙏🙏We had a great time in Korcula. Vela Luka was sooo quiet and we loved that. Korcula town had a couple of tour groups come through on chartered boats, but it was still pretty quiet as well. We spent most of our time outside of the town as you could tell! We were also very lucky that we had our host Milica show us around as well!
Beautiful presentation of a beautiful place. Game attempt with pronunciations, a little off the mark but recognisable and understandable, Aussie accent notwithstanding 😀.
Really enjoy watching your channel grow! This was a great video. Croatia has always been high on my list but even more so now!! Where you on the island ahead of the season? There were so few people! You had the beaches to yourself! How lovely! 🥰~JB
Thanks so much JB! Yes we were VERY lucky to be visiting in May, just before it goes crazy in late June onwards. Croatia was wonderful and an awesome destination for digital nomads!
Thanks so much Jay & Jon! You know what, I followed most of your recommendations to explore Korčula today: explored the old town, tried cukarin and klasun at Cukarin, had a lunch of dalmatinska pasticada at Kavana No.1, cycled around Lumbarda, walked around the beach of Bilin zal. Enjoyed it so much. Many thanks. Cheers.
Hi Chun Ho Howard Kwong, that has made our day! How wonderful is Korcula! You are there at a great time of the year. We were there in early May and it was still freezing in the water! Enjoy the rest of your Croatia travel, such a wonderful country!
This is so Awesome! Angela is a first generation Canadian, but her mothers side of the family is all from Vela Luka. We used Vela Luka as our base for our three months in Croatia.
Wow, that is so cool to have that connection. We spent a week in Vela Luka and could have easily stayed much longer. It is such a beautiful part of the world and much quieter than other parts of Croatia. Looks like we've had quite a few overlaps in our travels so far! We have just had your Croatia snack video come up in our feed, we'll have to check that out soon!
Great video! Must say you two gave a really good idea of this island, what to do and what to expect. My wife and I have travelled many parts of Croatia the last 15 years or so, our summer destination, and we are planning on Korcula this year. Enjoy your travels!
Hi Kanuckster, thanks for watching and we are glad you enjoyed the video! You've picked a wonderful summer destination to explore, Croatia is amazing. What have been some of your favourite Croatia destinations over the years?
Great documentary! You guys choose the nicest island in the south of Croatia with unspoiled beaches and intact nature! Glad you enjoyed some of traditional food and great hospitality!
Glad to hear you thought so, thanks for watching! We had no problems at all with only knowing English. We were a little apprehensive about this as well, but quickly found out that EVERYONE speaks English in Croatia. It is taught in schools these days. Enjoy your trip!
@@BucketListTravellers We will be in Korcula next month and we were looking forward to eating at Kavana No. 1. Yes, hopefully another restaurant takes its place.
Thanks Sergio, we were there in April and early May and the weather was starting to warm up. We reckon mid May would be perfect as it is pleasant weather and you are stilll in the shoulder season, without the highest prices and crowds. September would also be good.
Mmmmm that seafood looked incredible... all of it, even the side dishes. Didn't look like too many people enjoying that water... no monks and nuns frolicking on the beach either, near the monastery, which is something I'm sure God would approve of. Your accents are so charming and always a delight to hear you share your travel stories.
😂😂, to be fair, it was probably still a little too cold for the monks and nuns! We on the otherhand jump in the water at any opportunity. Nice to know you find our accents charming and thanks for watching.
You have to go! Croatia was fantastic and one of our favourite Europe destinations. We recommend you go in the shoulder seasons, either May or September. That way you'll miss the hordes and prices will be much cheaper.
Hi guys, I loved this video as it brought back great memories from when I visited the island for the first time in the summer of '23. I was born in Australia to Australian parents but my grandparents came over from Korcula to Australia, specifically from the village of Blato. So yes there is a strong connection between Australia and Croatia, Korcula included. It makes me proud that you would recommend that this would be the #1 island to visit if you could only travel to one of the many islands in the Adriatic Sea. Safe travels and hope to see more videos about Croatia in the future!
Hi @SardGuard, we loved Korcula! As you say there is such a strong connection with Australia. The lovely lady we were staying with pointed out all the Aussies who were coming back to the island to retire, and there were lots! Her sister was also living in Australia! We would love to return to Croatia and explore more. It is such a beautiful country. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful island, the waters were so crystal clear!! Nice views from the kayak, whew what a long day of rowing! Fabulous tour thank you so much for taking us along! ~Cara 😊
Korcula was such a beautiful island, that water was absolutely stunning, albeit a little cold still in early May! We ended up kayaking over 15km that day, we tend to over do it sometimes! Thanks for watching Cara! - Jon
Ooh, very intruiging! I looked this up after reading your comments and it appears there are rival claims from both Venice and Korcula. In any case, Korcula would have been under Venetian rule during Marco Polo's birth so I think we can both agree that he was a Venetian!
Amazing amazing video sharing as always dear friend 🙂 It's great 👌👌 Really enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing this with us giving another a big Big like thumbs up 👍👍👍 See you again on next video 📸 Luiz here again 🤗🎸 Keep intouch 👍❤️
That’s really good info about how to get to the islands and what you can rent!!! That’s interesting what you say about the houses and the roofs in Croatia. That’s one thing I remember I about those houses When we visit it there years back… the local food looks delicious…good review
Glad to hear you thought it was good Loren and Julie! We loved how uniform the roofs were, it really made the towns pretty. Pretty towns next to stunning turquoise water makes for a very memorable experience!
These are not Croatian style houses since Croatia has several very different regions with their typical types of houses. These are better described as mediterranean style stone houses with generic vermillion roof tiles.
Thanks for watching Marina. Wow, if Korcula ranks below all those other islands then they must be out of this world! We did love Hvar as well, however liked that Korcula was a little more low key and we liked that. We HAVE to come back to Croatia, it was wonderful and thank you for giving us more bucket list destinations for next time!
Hvala! We try to get it right and we found Croatian to be a bit more of a challenge than than other languages that we have encountered. Thanks for watching.
@@BucketListTravellers My GF is from Korcula, I showed her this video and she also noticed your excellent pronunciation. Cant wait to go home on two weeks holiday.
From the ocean?!😂😂😂😂😂😂 Do people from western countries have geography in school? If you take average Us american,who can not show his country on the world map and all the seas in the world he calls ocean,I don't think they do!
Hi Ve Ve, thanks for watching. You got us thinking there! Technically, we are both correct as the word "ocean" can refer to the entire body of salt water that covers approximately 70.8% of the surface of Earth whereas the specific body of water that surrounds Croatia is the Adriatic Sea. Interestingly the national anthem of our home country of Australia includes the line "our home is girt by sea" even though our country is actually surrounded by ocean! So, yes we have been taught the wrong words in school 😉
@@BucketListTravellers Aahahahahahaah 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 All rivers,seas and lakes are made from oceans then,because all of them are connected to oceans and pour in into them.So rivers and lakes you call also a ocean. Why will we named it a seas and lakes and rivers and creeks,why don't just we all call it an ocean. Why even oceans have different name,lets just call all water on Earth a ocean. Lets call water itself ocean. When you are in restaurant you can say 'can I have some ocean,please'. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You are english living in Australia. That explains a lot. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@faustinoasprilja "would you like your ocean still or sparkling?" 😂😂😂 As we mentioned, ocean is salt water, so it may not be too pleasant to drink 😜 We find it helpful to fact check ourselves before asserting that someone else is wrong. It can be an enlightening exercise and we are big fans of lifelong learning. We took our definition of an ocean from wikipedia, but if you check any dictionary you will find that our definition is correct. Lakes are by definition surrounded by land, so they are not connected to any other bodies of water. Also, not all rivers flow into the ocean. We think it's great that you are so passionate about geography and oceanography. They are very interesting topics. Just to clarify, we are not English, we are Australians. As we said, our home country is Australia. All the best Jay and Jon
😂I love pebble beaches now too! The annoying thing with sand is that you get it everywhere, but pebbles are so easy to brush off. We'll add those destinations to the bucket list!! -Jon

Korcula was sooo pretty! It is generally quieter than Hvar as well (which is a plus in our books!).
Oh guys that was a fabulous video, absolutely loved it, thank you! 🥰🤗
So glad to hear you enjoyed it Helen, we thought you would!🤗

Wonderful video. I'll be heading there in a month so thankyou for the advice. Question: how is getting around only knowing English?
Glad to hear you thought so, thanks for watching! We had no problems at all with only knowing English. We were a little apprehensive about this as well, but quickly found out that EVERYONE speaks English in Croatia. It is taught in schools these days. Enjoy your trip!
@@BucketListTravellers Thank you very much for that information.
I just went to Google Maps, and it says the Kavana No. 1 is permanently closed.
Thanks for letting us know. That is a shame, it was a really nice place to eat. Hopefully another restaurant will emerge in the same spot.
@@BucketListTravellers We will be in Korcula next month and we were looking forward to eating at Kavana No. 1. Yes, hopefully another restaurant takes its place.
