Investing in Korčula is no longer a question of distance – it is a story of accessibility. With Croatia’s major infrastructure projects and the professional support of ELISE.Services, the island has become one of the most promising investment destinations in the Mediterranean.
New Infrastructure – An Island Without Barriers
The transformation of accessibility has been decisive for Korčula. The Pelješac Bridge removed the border bottleneck at Neum, securing direct integration of southern Croatia into the EU road network. Looking ahead, the planned Perna Ferry Port in Orebić will further shorten transfer times and bring the island even closer to the mainland. Already today, fast ferry and catamaran lines from Split and Dubrovnik connect investors to Korčula within just 2–3 hours, providing reliable and flexible access. Complementing these upgrades, the expanded highway system places Vienna, Munich, and Zurich within 10–12 hours by car, positioning Korčula on par with other leading Mediterranean destinations.
Accessibility from the D-A-CH Region
From the economic centers of the German-speaking region, Korčula is now only a few hours away. Flights from Vienna to Dubrovnik take just two hours, followed by a short road transfer to Orebić and a 15-minute ferry crossing. From Munich, a 90-minute flight to Split, combined with a short transfer and a 2–3 hour ferry or catamaran, ensures seamless travel. Similarly, from Zurich, flights to Split take only 1 hour and 40 minutes, with onward connections equally efficient. In total, travel times average 4–6 hours door-to-door, comparable to other Mediterranean hotspots, yet with the added advantage of Korčula’s exclusivity and authenticity.
For investors traveling by car, accessibility is equally competitive. Vienna lies about 950 km away, Munich about 1,050 km, and Zurich roughly 1,250 km. With the highway expansion and the Pelješac Bridge in place, these routes can be covered within 10–12 hours of uninterrupted travel, firmly placing Korčula within reach of Central Europe.
