Dubrovnik to Korčula, with Ston on the way
To reach Korčula by road you drive almost the full length of Pelješac to Orebić and then take a short car ferry across the channel to the island.
Ston comes first, early in the day. Later the road winds through the villages that grow Plavac Mali, the main red grape of the peninsula. Fancy a wine tasting on the way? Mention it when you write.

Along the way
Ston and Mali Ston
Walls, salt and shellfish, one hour from Dubrovnik. Stretch your legs on the walls or have an early lunch by the water.
Pelješac
A long, narrow road through stone villages and terraced vines, with views to the sea on one side and sometimes on both.
Orebić and the ferry
The crossing to Korčula takes roughly a quarter of an hour. We agree beforehand whether the van comes over with you or you continue on foot, and who buys the tickets.
Good to know
There are more ferries in summer than in the winter months. Send us your address on Korčula and we match the drive to a suitable departure.
