Arrival at Korcula Town
All the above boats (with the exception of the car ferry from Orebic which arrives at Domince) arrive at Korcula Town, either at the west or east port (left or right side of Korcula Old Town). The Old Town lies in between both ports, so it’s quite easy to navigate your way around.
The main Korcula Tourist Office is located in a loggia opposite the west port. You’ll also find several travel agencies around the town offering information, tours, excursions and rentals (bikes, kayaks, scooters).
