1. Preparing for the journey to the island with Korcula ferries in mind
We strongly advise to add to your travel plan at least 2-3 additional hours which is a recommended time to come in the line for Korcula ferry boarding before its sailing time. That way you will avoid the crowds and traffic jams as well as the possibility that there will not be enough space on the Korcula ferry to board it. In that case, you will spend a huge amount of your valuable holiday time on exhausting driving or waiting for another ferry up to 16 hours.
Also, if you bought the tickets for a Korcula ferry online, please note that it is not a guarantee that you bought your place for the ferry. You still need to be in the line as close as possible to the ferry.
All mentioned information on Korcula ferries is less significant in June, September and other low season months when there is not so much crowd but in July and August, it is a necessity.

Ferry Split – Vela Luka

Jadrolinija.hr
Advantages
- Korcula ferry Split – Vela Luka is the best answer on how to get to Korcula island quickly, especially if you rent accommodation on the western part of Korcula
- While waiting for the ferry, we suggest to check out sightseeing spots in Split like Diocletian palace, which is close to the ferry port
- Ferry Split – Vela Luka sailing time is about 3 hours. We would like to point this out as an advantage because most people like to rest after a long drive but it can also be a disadvantage if you prefer to drive than staying on the ferry to Korcula
Disadvantages
- Slightly higher cost (the ferries from Ploce to Trpanj and from Orebic to Domince Korcula are much cheaper but you should also consider more fuel expenses)
- Ferry port in Split as well as the roads when approaching Split and through the city can be crowded with traffic jams during season peaks in July and August
- Ferry Split – Vela Luka sails only twice a day

3. Driving on the island of Korcula, How to Find Prizba and apartments Andreis

After leaving the ferry in Vela Luka turn right and drive along the main road to Blato. On the crossroad for entering Blato, turn left for direction Korcula and you will be on the road that bypasses Blato.

Driving from Korcula to Prizba
When you leave the ferry from Korcula, follow the main road along the island to the crossroad between places Pupnat and Cara (on the top of the hill closer to Cara). There you should turn to Cara and Smokvica. There is only one intersection in the center of Smokvica where you should turn left to Brna.
At the first crossroad in Brna turn right to Prizba. You will pass near a small bay called Istruga. Follow the road and after 5-7 minutes you will reach the apartment complex Priscapac.
