1. Preparing for the journey to the island with Korcula ferries in mind

Orebic Korcula Ferry View From Deck

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.

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

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

Once you reach the island of Korcula, the island is well connected with roads. Every place and even smaller coves and Korcula beaches are also connected with asphalt roads, with a few exceptions with macadam paths.

Driving from Vela Luka to Prizba

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. At the end of that, you will reach a crossroad and road turn right like you would like to enter Blato, this time from another direction. After about 600 meters you will reach one roundabout and take the third exit to Prizba.

Follow the main road (the road is very curvy) and first, you will reach the bay of Grscica. Just continue following the main road for about 2 kilometers more. You will pass near a closed hotel and 50 meters from there, there is a small crossroads where you should follow the main road (left). About 150 meters from there you will reach a small curve where you will see a small road table “9km” on the right side. 10 meters before this table is the passage to the yard of the apartments Andreis house where you can park your car.

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. Apartments Andreis house is about 2 kilometers from this point. Follow the road and after about 2 kilometers you will reach one small crossroad with a shop on the right side. Do not turn but follow the main road for about 150 meters. You will reach one small curve and on the left side on that curve, you will see a small road table “9km”. About 10 meters after this table turn left on the way to our yard where you can park your car in front of the house.
