To Korčula, across Pelješac
The quickest way to Korčula by road is along the Pelješac peninsula to Orebić and then a short ferry across the channel. It also happens to be a lovely drive.
We stop in Ston on the way, and the road through the middle of the peninsula passes the villages where Plavac Mali is grown. If you would like a winery visit, say so when you ask.
