For dinner, choose a harborfront restaurant with sea sunset views. Day 3–Day 4 Split 🏡Accommodation Recommended: small boutique inns inside Diocletian’s Palace for an immersive stay in a World Heritage site; for quiet, choose seaside apartments outside the old town. 📍Attractions & history The heart of Split is Diocletian’s Palace, built in 305 AD by Roman Emperor Diocletian over 1,700 years ago. The palace was never abandoned and remains a living old town with streets, shops, and homes nestled within ancient Roman walls. Must-see: Silver Gate, Golden Gate, the basement, and climb the bell tower for panoramic views of the sea of orange rooftops. 🍴Cuisine Dalmatian smoked ham, black risotto with cuttlefish ink, fresh grilled fish. Many family-run restaurants hide in the old town alleys; avoid main road tourist spots for better value. 🚢Transport Split port is the island hub, with ferries to various islands. Day 5 Hvar Island 🏡Accommodation Hotels in Hvar town center, within walking distance to the square and harbor; for tranquility, choose seaside villages in the island’s north. 📍Attractions Hvar Island is a popular Croatian island with long crescent-shaped sandy beaches, pine-lined coasts, and deep blue bays filled with yachts.

Croatia’s charm lies in leisurely seaside strolls, afternoon café breaks, and waiting for the sunset over the sea.
Detailed Guide to Croatia (Part 1), Play it this way to save money
✈ Self-driving tour around Croatia during the National Day, 11 days of itinerary, basically covered all the classic scenes. Sharing some dry goods (detailed content, divided into several issues). 👑Zagreb (Pictures 5-7) This time we took a circular route, landed in Zagreb by LOT Polish Airlines, and spent half a day visiting Stone Gate, market, two churches (not open for renovation) the next day. 🔺The most recommended attraction is Lotrščak Tower, where you can overlook the whole Zagreb. On one side of the tower is the shortest cable car in the world. 🔺Go to St. Mark's Church early in the morning, it's hard to take pictures when there are too many people later. It is recommended to book accommodation near Jelačić Square, where you can walk to all attractions. I booked Apartman Rudi, over 400 per night. 🔺It's cheap to take Uber in Zagreb. 👑Dubrovnik (Pictures 1-4, 12-14) Flew to Dubrovnik in the afternoon of the second day, also considered self-driving, not to mention tired, because we planned to stay in Dubrovnik for 3 nights, and the attractions in the city can be reached on foot. Save 3 days of car rental fee, the domestic ticket is only over 300. 🔺The most photogenic place here is the old town. If you love photography, it is recommended to book a hotel on the hill opposite the old town. I booked Apartments Villa Kosovic - ground floor, the view is excellent, you can overlook the sunrise and sunset of the old town from the balcony. The price is 400 per night, which is very cheap. 🔺As for taking pictures, the main street of the old town is crowded with tourists, but the small alleys on both sides are less crowded and good for shooting. In addition, it is necessary to go up the city wall at sunset, at least reserve 3 hours, otherwise they will rush people when they close. 🔺Another sunset viewing spot in Dubrovnik is on the mountain. Many people will take the cable car to the top of the mountain. But if you want to frame the old town and the sunset, you need a more southern perspective. I found a "wild view" (location in picture 13) through Google Maps, the view is better, and it only costs 15 euros to take a taxi up. 👑Korčula (Pictures 8-11) Three days in Dubrovnik, rent a car on the fourth day to Korčula. 🔺The car rental company chose SIXT, the pick-up and return process was very smooth. Please note that if you are going to several Balkan countries (such as Mostar), you need to pay a 50 euro exit fee. 🔺Drive to Orebi on Korčula Island, take a 15-minute ferry, 15 euros for both people and cars is very cheap. 🔺This small island is like a shield, beautiful when viewed from the air. It used to belong to Venice, so the architectural style also fully reflects the Italian style. There are day-trip tourists on the island, and it is comfortable to stroll in the morning and evening. 🔺Korčula has a real jelly sea, just under the city wall of the old town, where you can swim. The hotels on the island are also very cheap. I booked a four-star hotel (Marko Polo Hotel by Aminess) with a buffet dinner, over 700. 👑Split (Pictures 15-16) 🔺Drive from Korčula to Split in 2 hours, where there is the World Heritage Site Diocletian's Palace. It is recommended to play early in the morning and late at night. When the lights are on at night, the ruins are like the Palatine in Rome. The second day, climb the bell tower, visit the cathedral, feel mediocre, not cheap, not very worthwhile. 🔺Overall, there are many tourists in Split, the whole city is relatively noisy, if it is not for island hopping, one night is enough.
November in Korčula | Visiting a Croatian stone peninsula old town in the off-season
Visiting Korčula in November feels like being in a completely different place compared to summer. Most hotels and restaurants in the old town are closed, with signs hanging on the doors and empty spaces behind the glass. The ferry switches to a winter schedule with fewer sailings, and service is suspended on windy days. So, check the ferry schedule before you come. In summer, there are direct fast ferries from Split to Korčula, but they only run from May 1 to October 15 and are unavailable in November. There are actually two ways to get here right now: take a fast ferry from Split to Vela Luka (a 2.5 to 3-hour trip), then transfer to a bus for an hour to reach the town; or go via Orebić, where the car ferry takes 15 minutes, runs year-round, and has frequent departures. I decided to take the latter route this time; it’s actually more convenient if you're coming from Dubrovnik. There is only one city gate. Entering from the pier side, you'll see a winged lion carved above the archway—said to be a mark left by Venice, with one corner of the wing worn away. The light inside the archway is dim, but it brightens up once you walk through. The weather is unpredictable. It's 16°C during the day and 9°C at night, with plenty of rain and wind. In mid-November, it gets dark at 4:25 PM, so the afternoons are short—you need to head out early. The layout of the old town deserves a special mention. It's built on a small peninsula, wrapped in city walls with the sea on the outer perimeter. The streets inside are shaped like a fishbone: a main street runs horizontally from the city gate, with alleys branching off on both sides until they hit the city walls. No road goes straight from one gate to the other; you'll hit a wall if you keep walking. This was designed intentionally to block the wind and slow down the sea breeze in the alleys. The alleys are narrow, with cobblestones worn smooth and shiny, and they collect water on rainy days. The walls are light gray stone, the roofs have red tiles, and the windows have green wooden shutters, some of which are closed. Some alleys have wooden beams spanning across them, supporting the buildings on either side, with people passing underneath. Scattered on the walls are stone-carved animal heads and emblems, with dates engraved on the lintels. St. Mark's Church is on the east side of the square. Its facade follows the Venetian style, with arches, round windows, and railings. There's a bell tower next to it; you can go to the top, but it's windy. You can walk a full circle along the city walls. It takes over half an hour to walk from the seaside bastion to the square tower in the north. Several square towers stand at the corners, and the top of the wall is paved with stone slabs, wide enough for people to walk side by side. The steps on the inner side of the wall are heavily worn, with the centers sunken in. You need to check the sword dance schedule in advance. The Moreška is only performed from the second half of April to mid-October. For 2026, it's scheduled from April 29 to October 14; it's not available in November. If the month is wrong, you won't catch it no matter how many times you visit. The museum has shorter opening hours in winter. The information says 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, but I'm not sure which year's version that is. The door was open the day I went, but I'm not sure if you can get in; these times change every year. The claim about Marco Polo's birthplace is controversial; there's a house in town with his name on it, but scholars don't recognize it. The old town itself isn't on the World Heritage list either. These two points might sound disappointing, but at least it saves you from false expectations. The architecture itself is decent—the house is small, with wooden stairs and low steps. As for food, there are few options this month. The few places that are open are concentrated on one side of the city gate. A serving of seafood risotto is about €22; the rice is a bit hard, and there aren't many shrimp. Grilled fish is priced by weight, about €50 per kilogram, served with potatoes and spinach. Bread is charged separately, about €2 per person. They burn wood inside, so there's a smoky smell when you walk in. There's one place that makes cuttlefish risotto—it's black and rich in flavor, costing about €20 a serving, which hasn't increased much since summer. Accommodation prices have come down. An apartment converted from a stone house in the old town is about €70 per night, which would be triple that in summer. The downside is there are no elevators, so you have to carry your luggage up the stairs yourself; after dark, all the shops close, and there are almost no pedestrians on the street. On windy days when the ferries stop, the town doesn't panic; small boats in the harbor are dragged ashore, and mooring ropes are wrapped twice around the stone bollards. Walking outside the town, the harbor is surrounded by a breakwater, and when the wind is calm, you can sit and watch the mountains on the opposite shore layered one behind another. There aren't many winter bus services, so come back early after you're done. In the evening, the wind picks up, and waves crash against the southern bastion, with spray splashing onto the top of the wall. I walk back to my accommodation along the outer path, my shoe soles clicking on the wet stones with every step.
Stroll through Korčula Old Town
Located in southern Croatia, Korčula Island is home to one of the best-preserved medieval walled towns in the Mediterranean. The most unique feature of the old town is its fishbone street layout. The main street runs east-west, while side alleys branch off at angles—a clever medieval design that provides wind protection, shade, and ventilation. The old town also preserves the tower of the former residence of the famous Italian traveler Marco Polo.
Korčula — The Croatian Island Town Where Marco Polo Was Born and Stone Streets Tell Stories
Croatia has Dubrovnik and Hvar. But on a small island in the Adriatic lies a town that rivals them both. Korčula is a medieval walled settlement on a peninsula, its streets laid out in a fishbone pattern to catch the sea breezes. The stone is warm. The sea is turquoise. Marco Polo was born here. Here is how to explore this island treasure and save money with Trip.com. 1. The Old Town at Dawn: Stone and Sea Light Korčula's old town is a maze of narrow stone streets, hidden courtyards, and ancient churches. By 9 AM, the ferries arrive and the streets fill. Come at 6 AM instead. The stone glows in the soft light. The sea laps against the walls. You will walk through streets that have barely changed in centuries, with only the sound of your footsteps and the cry of gulls. It feels like a secret. Pro Tip: Download the Trip.com offline map for Korčula. It shows you the hidden passageways and the quietest routes along the walls. The best photos are from the Revelin Tower at sunrise, when the stone turns gold and the sea sparkles. 2. St. Mark's Cathedral: A Gothic Jewel St. Mark's Cathedral is the heart of Korčula. Its Gothic facade is decorated with carved figures, and its bell tower rises above the rooftops. Inside, the atmosphere is solemn and cool. The altarpiece is a masterpiece. Come early. The light through the windows is beautiful, and the cathedral is quiet. Money Hack: The cathedral is free to enter, but the bell tower has a small fee. Buy a combined ticket on Trip.com that includes the tower and the Marco Polo Museum. You save about 25%. The climb to the top is steep, but the view over the red rooftops and the sea is worth it. 3. The Marco Polo House: Fact and Legend Korčula claims to be the birthplace of Marco Polo, the famous explorer. The house where he was supposedly born is now a small museum. The connection is debated, but the story is compelling. The museum tells the story of his travels along the Silk Road. Come in the afternoon. The light is soft, and the museum is quiet. Budget Advice: Skip the expensive guided tours. The museum is small, and the exhibits are self-explanatory. Check Trip.com for a "Korčula Walking Tour" that includes the house and the cathedral. The guide separates fact from legend and shares stories of the island's history. 4. Food That Tastes Like the Adriatic Dalmatian food is fresh and simple. Try Žrnovski Makaruni — local pasta with meat sauce. Order Gregada — a fish stew with potatoes and white wine. And do not miss Cukarini — sweet twisted pastries, a local specialty. Where to Eat: Skip the restaurants on the waterfront. They charge for the view. Walk into the backstreets and find Konoba Mareta or Adio Mare, where locals eat. The food is fresh, and the prices are fair. Check Trip.com for set menu deals — some places include a glass of local Pošip wine when you book through the app. Where to Stay? Book on Trip.com a guesthouse inside the old walls. Look for something near the cathedral or the Revelin Tower. You will sleep in a stone house with wooden shutters, a small balcony, and the sound of the sea at night. The evenings are lively, and the mornings are quiet before the ferries arrive. Conclusion: Korčula is not a place you rush through. It is a place you absorb. It is a town of stone and sea, of cathedrals and legends. It is a place where the past is present in every wall. Croatia is a country of stunning beauty, and Korčula is its island soul. Come and walk the stone streets. The Adriatic is waiting. #trip_com #Croatia #Korcula #korculatravel #CroatiaHiddenGems #Dalmatia #MarcoPolo #BudgetTravel #EuropeGuide #traveleurope #AdriaticIsland #MedievalTown #StMarksCathedral #IslandLife #HiddenCroatia
