Although you might want to explore the island by yourselves, it is best to stick to the usual routes, especially if you are beginners. There are many hiking routes and promenades on Korčula, ranging between easy and difficult and taking several hours to complete so make sure you are well prepared.
Depending on which one you take, the route paths will pass along the beaches, through the woods, by the churches, vineyards, even restaurants and shops where you can stop by to try and buy the local products like wine, cheese and honey.
One of our favourites is Route Kočje; it starts and ends in Žrnovo village and goes through the Protected Forest vegetation reserve Kočje in between. The road, surrounded by a century-old forest and dolomite rock, offers a stunning view of Pelješac peninsula and nearby bays. The legends say the fairies often visit the local water spring, so make sure you pass near it. With or without fairies, it is a good refreshing spot!
If you are looking for suitable accommodation, we suggest Aminess Lume Hotel, a hotel in an isolated location with Hikers Friendly Certificate that will be perfect for keeping you well-rested and ready to take on new challenges, while also having a romantic vibe and various couples offers.
