| We moored up here originally only intending to stay one night while a strong Jugo wind system blew past but it brought rain the next day so we stayed put a second night. The marina staff are helpful and friendly, and the shower facilities very clean inside. Around the marina there are plenty places to eat, one small and a second larger market. The marina beach bar was not yet open for trade in May. |

Korcula
Croatia |
| We visited Korcula eRly in the season and didn’t find it too busy at all. It was a beautiful evening and we wondered around the meandering streets over a couple of hours. We found the outskirts of the city most interesting as they offered the best views. The inner restaurants seemed pleasant but you could almost be anywhere unless you find a table in one of the passage ways. |
