Visit Hvar/Korcula

Probably not as catamarans for Korcula tend to run north in the morning and south in the afternoon/evening. Even if it's possible, it might not be practical. Two companies run catamarans on the Split-Hvar-Korcula route, Jadrolinija and Krilo, and not all catamarans for Korcula go all the way to Korcula Town. Looking at Jadrolinija's schedules for May 2019, your day trip would not be possible. Krilo has deleted all of their 2019 seasonal catamaran schedules (I could only access the Split-Hvar schedule), so you will need to wait and check their 2020 seasonal schedules, which will probably be posted late February or March. You could make the trip by staying overnight in Korcula, provided you could find lodgings for just one night. If your destination after Split is Dubrovnik you also might be able to stop on your way south, although you would need to check schedules cafefully to be sure. Keep in mind that you may need to use a combination of Jadrolinija and Krilo catamarans to make it work.

Hi thanks for your reply . I have accommodation already booked in Split for several nights.
So I only have the option of a day trip .

You have never been able to do this journey, even in peak season and May is still off season. It’s an hour on the catamaran from Split to Hvar town and 75 minutes from Hvar town to Korcula town plus 2.5 hours back from Korcula to Split, so you wouldn’t have much time to see anything on each island.

Trogir is a great place for a half day trip from Split. Hvar town or Stari Grad on Hvar are good day trips. You get a ferry to Stari Grad, which has less chance than the catamaran of being cancelled if the seas are choppy.

I don't think it's practical or desirable. I would limit yourself to one island per day trip. Also, the suggestion to see Trogir is a good one, since it's so close and accessible.

I pick one island for a day trip. Especially since you have 5 nights but you could consider double booking a hotel and staying overnight on an island to have a better experience there.

Hi ,
Is it possible to do a day trip to Korcula as I really wanted to see it .

Thank you for any info.

Some tips..........
Not all restaurants accept credit cards and we used more kuna then anticipated. No problem in obtaining kuna and we found the exchange rates and food pricing to be of great value. As a rule we found the further north and inland we went the better the value. Head south and to island villages and the prices escalated with Dubrovnik leading the way.
If you have a kitchen then stop at the Green Market to load up on local produce, fruits, meats and cheeses. The market is adjacent to the east side of the old city and easy to find. Typically best before 10 a.m. to shop with the locals.
Use the main city gates by the port as your navigation point to all things Split (consider it the center of a hand watch). At the Information booth pick up a small foldable map to help navigate the area. The majority of destinations are maximum 20 minute walk. We stayed due west of the old town (use Google Maps to locate Bana Jelacica street) in a quaint remodeled VBRO amidst locales and other rentals. A quiet area enabling finding good places to dine at less expense rates then found within the old town (try the homemade tomato soups, it's always delicious. Clean the bowl with the excellent crusty bread.). Locate Ujeviceva poliana (at the 10 position on the hand watch outside the old city walls) and you will find locals shopping, eating, relaxing and a less hectic pace. There are several grocery stores, wonderful restaurants, a great barber, pharmacy and my sign of success for being out of the tourist zone; a pawn shop! Pawn shops are wonderful places to engage the owner to learn more about the area, find hidden gems at low cost (always haggle!) and to peel back a couple of layers of tourism. Another gem is finding second hand clothing shops which are equally fantastic. On the other side of town and walking past the hustle of the port, you will find at the 5 position on the watch hand access to the local beach. This is a nice cove of beach sans much sand, but where you can enjoy a dip in the sea and relax on your own towel. Within the cove is an area offering food, drink, changing area and toilets (btw, always keep small change for use of toilets). Folks tend to perform the "beach towel dance" to discreetly change in/out of attire and you will find all ages enjoying the area. FYI: as you walk past the port area there are several small grocery stores offering goods to create your own picnic. Which reminds me......We used the bus to transit to and from the Split airport. Upon arrival at the airport walk out to the main parking area and the bus awaits on your left. Double check to make sure you are at the right bus, toss your luggage in the storage area and climb aboard to grab a seat. The driver will come by to collect 30 kuna (current price one way cash only) and when the bus is full off you go. You will be deposited adjacent to the main port and once you have gathered your bearings, should be within walking distance of your accommodations (as long as you are not a pack mule for luggage). OH! Bring less clothes as several clothes washing centers are available in Split. Where we stayed the good old clothes hanging lines were available for flapping your under garments for all to view while drying! I am leaving the traditional tourist destination descriptions to others to describe. If you like true football the stadium is at the 11 position and a 30 minute walk. Check the schedule for availability as the Split team is excellent, but don't say that to anyone in Zagreb! Keep in mind Split has an excellent port offering a variety of ferries capable of being short trips to sea accessible villages. Do a little research at this web link: https://www.croatiaferries.com/ferry-timetables.htm. We sojourned on a small ship cruise and enjoyed the experience of traveling the method utilized for centuries within this region. We loved the Croatian folks and met kindness at every turn.
