KORCULA NATURIST GUIDE MAPKorcula

Korcula, birthplace of Marco Polo (1254), is, after Lokrum and Mljet, the third most densely wooded island of Croatia. There is much evidence of a highly-developed social life on Korcula even in the 13th century. The Statute of Korcula, signed in 1214, prohibited the slave trade for the first time in Europe. It also spoke about the order and management of the city. Korcula makes an excellent base for day trips to places like Mljet and other islands of the Elafiti group (southeast of Korcula Island). Korcula is also famous for its traditional dance that has been performed for more than four centuries. The Moreska sword dance depicts the battle of two kings and their armies for the love of a beautiful girl.

Badija - naturist beach Map

On the deserted islet of Badija which lies East of the town of Korcula, twenty minutes away by boat. It has a surface of about one square kilometer and is covered by dense maquis and pine, cypresses and olive trees. A shuttle boat runs from Korcula town to Badija Island. The beach is rocky with a small shingle beach backed by pine trees and it is mostly visited by couples. The sea is crystal clear and great for swimming.
If you want to stay overnight on Badija, you can shack up in a 15th century monastery which has been converted into a hotel (latest information says it is closed at the moment, so double-check is a must).
Velika and Mala Stupa are two small islets not far from Badija, also often visited by naturists.

One really must visit the islands around Vela Luka, the bays and little villages of Gradina, Triluke, Grscica and Prizba are the nearest and ideal for day trip .

Islet of "PROIZD", immediately outside the bay of Vela Luka, is an oasis of untouched nature - crystal clear sea, rocks, white pebbles, naturist beaches and lush vegetation are its main attractions. "Restaurant PROIZD" on the islet serves delicious seafood dishes, traditional grilled meat and the heady wines of Korcula (open daily from 09.00h to 18.00h).
A boat sails from Vela Luka to island Proizd three times a day ( approx half an hour sailing ). Mediteraneo offers boat tours from Vela Luka to Proizd.
