Sadly, though, I later discovered that it was Split’s 1700th “birthday” – and I missed it.

I’m building a small cottage on another island near Split, but I’m still kicking myself over that.

Thanks. We did land in Vela Luka and I would have liked to explore it further, but bus connections and a lack of time meant that it was not possible. Next time! Sounds like you have great memories of your stay there

I was first there in the 1980s Yugoslav days and then spent my own unplanned night there – New Year’s Eve 2005 – and only because I missed a ferry to another island. But I ended up in Vela Luka, not Korcula town. I’ve seen most of Croatia and its inhabited islands, but I avoid Hvar town, Korcula town, and Dubrovnik. It’s a great country for finding secret remote spots.

(I’m not telling :))

Go for it Jaime! I barely saw any of Croatia really (on the map we covered not even a quarter of the country) and I’d like to return to see more. A word of advice: if you’re visiting other parts of the Balkans (particularly Bosnia or Albania) you might find the prices in the tourist hotspots of Croatia relatively high. But that shouldn’t put you off seeing a beautiful country.
