March, tel. [phone]). On the western side, near the tip and perfectly situated for view-
ing the sunset, Komin offers traditional Dalmatian meals cooked on a grill inside (55-65-kn

Around Shell Bay: Prices inside the Old Town are generally the highest in Kor č ula. But
several cheaper eateries lie just outside the Old Town. Window-shop the menus along the
harbor, then hang a left at the bus station and continue up the road toward the big resort ho-
tels. You'll find plenty of cafés, pizzerias, and konoba s (traditional restaurants), most with
outdoor seating. For something a bit more upscale, consider Moreška restaurant at Hotel
Korsal (see “Sleeping in Kor č ula,” earlier).
Picnics: Just outside the main gate, you'll find a lively produce market and a big, mod-
ern, air-conditioned Konzum supermarket (Mon-Sat 7:00-20:00, Sun 8:00-13:00). A short
stroll from there down Put Svetog Nikole takes you to rocky seafront perches with the best
Kor č ula views. Otherwise, there are many inviting picnic spots along the Old Town em-
bankment.
Sweet Shop: For good (if pricey) local sweets, stop by Cukarin, which sells tasty tra-
ditional cookies such as the delicious flourless (and gluten-free) amareta almond cake; the
Marko Polo cake (flourless chocolate cake with buttercream); and the walnut-cream-filled
klašun . They also sell homemade wine, liqueur, honey, and jam (Mon-Sat 8:30-12:00 &

Ice Cream: Myfavorite sladoled inKor č ulaisat Kiwi (justupthelaneacrossfromKon-

Korčula Connections
Kor č ula is tethered to the rest of the Dalmatian Coast by a few tenuous boat connections,
and service becomes even more sparse in the off-season (Oct-May). Boat connections have
been in flux in recent years; one helpful fast catamaran connection was cancelled in 2013,
but local officials hope that another company may step in to fill this gap. Research your op-
tions carefully to be aware of all of your options.
If you're here during a lull in the sailing schedule, buses are your ticket out of town
(making the short crossing to the Pelješac Peninsula on the Domin č e-Orebi ć ferry).
By Boat
Boats big and small depart from the embankment surrounding Kor č ula's Old Town penin-
sula. Which side of the peninsula a boat uses can depend on the weather—be flexible and
