ACI Marina Korčula (Korčula) Opčina Korčula - Korčula - Croatia

ACI Marina Korčula is situated next to the historical center of the town, offering an unforgettable view of the town ringed with centuries-old stone walls. The marina was awarded the 'Tourist Flower – Quality for Croatia' prize in 2013, with a special award for the best island marina and second place in the category of the best small marina on the Adriatic. In 2014, it was awarded third place in the same category. The marina has also been a Blue Flag award winner for many years. APPROACH: Korčula is a town and harbour in the north-eastern part of its namesake island. The harbour is divided into eastern and western sections, with ACI's marina located in the eastern section. When approaching from Hvar through the Peljašac Channel, the red lighthouse (Fl R 2s 7m 4M) at position 42°57.8'N 17°08.4'E serves as a landmark. The marina is sighted after rounding the lighthouse and the peninsula, which is encircled by prominent town walls with the easily visible cathedral bell tower. The entrance to the marina on the south side of the breakwater is marked by a green lighthouse (Fl G 5s 7m 4M). The safest approach from the south is by rounding the Sestrice (Fl(4)W 15s 18m 11M) and Stupe Velike (Fl(Obscd)R 3s 9m 3M) lighthouses from the north, then using the green lighthouse in the eastern part of the town harbour (Fl G 3s 7m 2M) as a landmark. During summer storms the western part of the town harbour should be avoided.
