Like so many islands along this coast, KORCULA was first settled by the Greeks, who gave it the name Korkyra Melaina or "Black Corfu" for its dark and densely wooded appearance. Even now, it's one of the greenest of the Adriatic islands, and one of the most popular. The island's main settlement is Korcula town , and the rest of the island, although beautifully wild and untouched, lacks any real centres. The main coastal ferry drops you right in the harbour of Korcula town. In addition, local ferries travel daily between Split and Vela Luka at the western end of Korcula island, from where there's a connecting bus service to Korcula town. There's also a direct bus service (1 daily) from Dubrovnik, which crosses the narrow stretch of water dividing the island from the mainland via car ferry from Orebic.
