Apartments Iris

Forty-eight hours in Korčula's Old Town feel different when the base is Apartments Iris on Ulica 99, a quiet residential lane a short walk from the medieval walls of the stone peninsula. The address suits couples and slow travellers who want a local neighbourhood feel over a resort.

Korčula Old Town — often called the birthplace of Marco Polo — extends into the Adriatic on a narrow spit, with the ferry terminal for Split and Dubrovnik lines a few minutes on foot. The central Gradska Kavana square and the Cathedral of Saint Mark are both reachable in under ten minutes.

The surrounding Pelješac channel offers reliable summer sailing winds, making Iris a practical overnight stop for flotilla crews between Dubrovnik and Split.
