The climate of Korcula (Croatia)
The island of Korcula with its city of the same name is the largest
island of Croatia and is situated on the Makarska Riviera. The biggest
attraction on the island is its beautiful scenery. The island is
densely forested; its coast mainly consists of caves and bays with
beautiful clear water. The Mediterranean climate is responsible for
muggy summers and mild winters. Because of the large amounts of rain
that fall from October till April the island remains very green.
Korcula is also known as the birth place of Marco Polo, who was
actually from Venice. However, during that period Korcula was part of
Venice so he can be seen as a Croatian. On 29 June the traditional
Moreska is danced here.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
