Korčula Safety Essentials

Korčula's crime rate is extremely low. However, vigilance is always wise. Trust your gut; if something feels off, it probably is.

Valuables
Secure wallets and phones in crowded zones (ferries, old town). Unattended bags are an invitation for opportunistic theft, however rare. Don't tempt fate.
Water Safety
Observe warning flags. Strong currents exist; never swim far alone. Water shoes are practical for rocky beaches and sea urchins.
Driving
Roads are narrow, winding, and often lack shoulders. Drive slowly, expect pedestrians, cyclists, and scooters. Parking is extremely tough in summer months.
Scams
Extremely rare. Verify prices for taxis or tours upfront. Ignore aggressive street vendors or unsolicited 'guides'; this is just basic travel intelligence.
Emergencies
Dial 112 for all emergencies (police, ambulance, fire). Your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) is valid. Pharmacies handle minor health issues efficiently.
