The sloping rocks of Proizd island, just off Vela Luka, provide Korcula with a likely contender for the title of Dalmatia`s foremost boutique beach. Tourism on the island is increasingly driven by a new breed of discerning tourist. Korcula is a beautiful place, especially in the summer. The main road from the ferry port at Vela Luka to Korcula town switches from one side of the island`s spine to the other, offering majestic maritime views that take silhouettes of island Hvar and Lastovo.<\/p>\n<p>Most of Korcula`s hillsides are scarred with contour-hugging lines of piled-up rock, a reminder of the times when wine and olive bearing terraces covered the island.
