Dragan's Den Hostel

Set on Ulica 91 within Korcula's walled Old Town, Dragan's Den Hostel occupies a stone townhouse a five-minute walk from the ferry harbor, with the Marco Polo house and the Cathedral of St Mark just around the corner. It suits budget travelers and backpackers touring Dalmatia's coast who want a walkable base without a car.

Dorm beds share a communal terrace overlooking terracotta rooftops, useful for evening meals bought at the daily market two streets over. Split, four hours north by catamaran, is a common onward stop guests ask staff about.
