Moreška Sword Dance
Every visitor who happens to be in Korčula from June to September inevitably winds up at the Moreška sword dance. Performed in Korčula since the 15th century, the dance is one of the island's most colourful traditions. Although probably of Spanish origin, Korčula is now the only place in which it is performed. It tells the story of two kings - the White King (dressed in red) and the Black King - who fight for a princess abducted by the Black King.
In the spoken introduction the princess declares her love for the White King and the Black King refuses to relinquish her. The two armies draw swords and 'fight' in an intricate dance accompanied by a band. Enthusiastic town…

Cocktail Bar Massimo
This bar is lodged in a turret and accessible only by ladder; the drinks are brought up by pulley. Visit for views of the coast and cathedral, not the tacky cocktail list. No children.

Tramonto
Fantastic sunsets are to be savoured as you sip cocktails at this terrace bar. It's popular with locals, tourists and yachters alike. The music is relaxed and the vibe easy-going.

Dos Locos
Hangout for young Korčulans complete with R&B on the mix and music videos projected on the side of a building. It’s just behind the bus station.
