Korčula's north coast around Prigradica suits couples and small families after a quiet sea base near Blato rather than the old town. Homes are mid-sized, most with two bedrooms, and none has a pool. Korčula town is around 40 minutes away by car, so evenings there mean driving back.
These homes are filed under Korčula, but they sit on the island's north coast around Prigradica, the small former port of Blato, about 3 km north of that town. Blato is one of the oldest settlements on the island, set in a field where olive oil and wine are the main products, with a long avenue of linden trees called Zlinje and a central park that gives strong summer shade. Its Kumpanija sword dance is performed on 28 April, the feast of the patron saint. Prigradica's beach is a family beach in a peaceful setting. Korčula's old town is about 40 km from Blato, so a car is part of the plan. Check restaurant opening times before an off-season stay.

Take the ferry from Split port, which calls at Hvar before Vela Luka, and drive on to Prigradica. Door to door from the port it takes a little over three hours, so an early flight into Split makes the day easier.
Blato marks the feast of its patron saint, St Vincenca, with the Kumpanija sword dance on 28 April. If you are staying near Prigradica in late April, it is a short drive inland to watch.
