Croatia is located east of Italy and extends along the Adriatic coast from Slovenia to Montenegro. The country is surrounded by Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro. Thanks to its location all destinations in Croatia can easily be reached by car, bus, car ferry or plane.

 

Dalmatia – The Cradle of Croatia

Dalmatia is the narrow coastal strip, separated from inland Croatia by mountains. It is wide open to the sea and is located between Zadar and Dubrovnik.

To experience ancient towns you do not have to travel to Greece. In Split, Trogir and Zadar there are some very well preserved remains of the ancient Greco-Roman culture. The recent European history, shaped by the 400 year old Venetian influence, is reflected in the world famous city of Dubrovnik and its smaller sister, Korcula.

 

The Island of Korcula

The island of Korcula is 46 km long and 12 km wide. The town of Korcula, of the same name as the island, is located in the north-east of the island and you can be reached in 15 minutes by car ferry from the Peljesac peninsula (Orebic – Dominče). To the north-west of the island is the quiet, sleepy town of Vela Luka, which can also be reached from Split by daily car ferry and catamaran. In the bays on the south side of the island are some sleepy little fishing villages. Their inhabitants live on agriculture, olive oil, wine, fishing and tourism. In the middle of the island, is situated the big old village of Blato, with its distinctive lime tree avenue. Karbuni belongs administratively to Blato and is 8 km away.

 

Karbuni

Karbuni is located on the south-west side of the island and belongs administratively to the municipality of Blato which is eight kilometres inland . The small harbour town of Vela Luka is also the same distance away.

Karbuni is a wide, open bay, which is reached after a drive through pine forests and olive groves and a steep descent to the sea. The views on approaching are unforgettable. The climate is warm and sun-rich from April to November and is mild and attractive in winter.
