Coral shop Irena was founded in 1990, located in the historical town of Korčula. At the same location where my late grandfather had his jewellery, today is my inherited shop. I am a third generation, which nurtures and continues six decades long family tradition of making and designing jewellery. I am proud that the quality of our design recognized as ours, and world-famous fashion designers, actors, singers, photographers, and other to us very dear people.
Irena is living beating heart of this absolutle jewell of a shop. She has such a wonderful style - professional, confident, patient and kind. We left her shop feeling great about ourselves as well as the beautiful jewellery we purchased. Such a good experience buying from someone with so much history and passion - there is a wonderful photo on the wall with Irena and her grandmother when she was just a little girl IN THE SAME SHOP. Totally authentic and totally genuine. My mum loves the necklace she bought, which is a magnificent piece - one of the many exquisite creations in Irena's shop. Stop and have a chat and if you fall in love then take something away with you - you won't regret it!

One of the most beautiful view and beaches at Korcula island, to which leads a steep and windy road down to cliffs. Unfortunately we had no time to stay at the beach, only wanted to take some pictures, and It is worth to see.

I was attrackted by nice terrace and great interior. Interior design is just perfect! All of the arts (paintings, sculptures, jewelry...) are stuning. The gallery owner is so nice and kind, we had a nice chat with her. Ended up buying some small sculpture that reminds us of beautiful vacation time in Korčula.....

Korkula's city walls are impressive, surrounding the old city, particularly if you approach from the sea. Korcula is one of Coatia‘s finest surviving fortified medieval towns. Defenses were started in the 13th century to protect its citizens from land and sea attacks. Threats diminished in the 18th century, so parts of the wall were dismantled, and Korcula expanded beyond the walls. By the early 19th century large proportion of the walls were neglected and parts demolished, mainly the upper part of eastern walls (Zakerjan area) as well as part of the western walls (Riva- Korcula port area). Walking the walls gave me a feeling for medieval defense: thick stone curtain walls with twelve towers, battlements with arrow slits, and city gates with inner and outer doors. There are two main gates; the south gate (called the Land Gate, Kopnena Vrata) has the Venetian lion insignia above the door, signifying an alliance with this strong trading partner in the north Adraitic. A vaulted passage leads though the Revelin Tower (built from 1493 to 1496) and to the main town square by St. Mark's Cathedral. The west side entrance is called Sea Gate (Morska Vrata). It ascends a Baroque stairway from the harbor along the open loggia (built in 1584) into the town. Defensive towers which have survived include - Zakerjan Tower: a hemispherical tower on the north side - Kanavelic Tower: a hemispherical tower on the north west side - Sea Gate Tower: a square tower near the Sea Gate - Small Governor’s Tower: a cylindrical tower on the southwest side - Large Governor’s Tower: a truncated cone on the southwest side - Revelin Tower: a square tower over the land gate - All Saints Tower: a truncated tower on the southeast side Circling the walls from the outside is about 700m. The towers and parts of the wall are lighted at night, which adds a romantic touch to an evening in Korcula. The walls are always open, and there is no entrance fee, although there are some business establishments in the some of the towers.

Massimo is an adults-only bar in the turret of the Zakerjan Tower on the northern tip of the old town. To reach the top you need to climb a flight of stairs followed by a ladder that takes you through a hole in the ceiling. In one direction you have a view of the old town’s terracotta rooftops. In the other you have a stretching view of the Pelješac Peninsula. The drinks are ordered at the top and brought up via a pulley. They’re a little pricey, but you pay for the rare experience. Being a self-proclaimed Lannister (which everyone says I should keep to myself), I ordered the Kingslayer cocktail. Not only did it come in a themed cup that made the experience even more unique, but it turned out to be a whiskey sours; my favourite! Massimo Cocktail Bar is by far one of the most unique bars I’ve had the privilege of going to, and the sunset that followed was spectacular! Make sure this is high on your list of things to do in Korčula!
