About Korčula/Vela Luka
Vela Luka is a working town on the western side of Korčula, at the bottom of a wide bay with many coves. The name means big harbour, and islanders on Korčula and Pelješac often call it simply Luka. Residents farm, fish or work in tourism. The prehistoric Vela Spila cave sits on Pinski Rat hill, several hundred metres above the bay. The homes are spread around the town and its edges, sleeping around five at the median, with a fireplace in a good number and a private pool in a minority. Outside summer the car ferry follows a weekday-based timetable, so plan arrivals around it.
