Vela Luka Croatia Walking Tour of Pretty Small Town on Korcula Island

Vela Luka, Croatia - Vela Luka is the Largest town on Korcula island and has a lot going for it. Famous Croatian Singer Oliver Dragojevic wrote Sjećanje na Vela Luku (Remembering Vela Luka) about his love for this, his beautiful home town. Famous singer Jasna Zlokić is also from Vela Luka!
Today we explore this quiet town and some of the notable spots like Vela Spila, a large cave with a history of human habitation for over 20,000 years. We walk along the in-progress longest continuous mosaic in the world, take a stroll along the harbor and visit a local beach near hotel Adria.

Mr Dragojević and that song were only fitting don't you think?

Croatia is an amazing country, great food, culture.

[@PureDetour]

We are enjoying our time in Croatia so much and can't wait to show all the amazing places we've seen while we're here so stay tuned! Also stay tuned for the 15 pounds we're each going to gain from all this delicious food 🤣 Thanks for watching!

[@johndragojevic6946]

Great touch with the beginning song and ending song To me Your mothers cameo will be very memorable to her brother I love the camera shots with your drone glad to see it’s back in action waiting to see your next video from Dalmatia as it looks beautiful Say hi toyou and Geff and your sidekick mother

[@PureDetour]

Geoff just crashed the drone and it’s out of commission now so glad you enjoyed the shots! We also like the intro and exit shots ❤️and the Frances cameo. Can’t wait for your debut, I’m guessing you’ll be a bit more chatty.

[@maricallo6143]

Sea urchins are usually a clear sign of very clean waters.

[@PureDetour]

I’ve heard that. And there is no doubt that these waters are clear and so beautiful 🤩

[@januszpaleta7181]

I was there 2times... first in 2017 and second 2022 1 weeks ago. BEUTUFULL PLACE !!🇵🇱

[@PureDetour]

Isn't it such a special place ❤️. Do you think you'll go back again?

[@januszpaleta7181]

@@PureDetour I have to explore more places than Croatia.. but its my favourite place.

[@PureDetour]

I totally understand, so many places to see and so little time. It's a very special place to me too though, I'll certainly go back again one day

[@berahimmohamed8628]

Soo nice 👍👍

[@PureDetour]

thank you so much Berahim!!! ✌️

[@susancampbell2349]

Lovely video Angie. I remember visiting that cave when I was there many years ago. It really was spectacular! So nice to see your Mom. Please say hello to her from me. xo

[@PureDetour]

Hi Sue! Right? It is difficult to try to convey the scale of the cave on film, it's pretty striking in person. Trying to get my mom a bit more on camera but it's the one time in my life I've seen her be shy 🤣 I'll say hello for you ❤️❤️❤️

[@highlanderabroad884]

Great channel and content, love the drone shots. New subscriber.😁😁

[@PureDetour]

Thanks so much! The drone recently had a little accident, lol, so we're looking for a new one soon! Glad you enjoyed the footage though and thanks so much for subscribing, it means a lot to us ✌️

[@bentrimmen8430]

I was there , enjoyed the surroundings for month , great place 🇩🇰❤️

[@PureDetour]

Isn’t it so quaint? I love this town

[@bentrimmen8430]

I visited Lastovo Island the same year, fantastic place til 😉

[@PureDetour]

@@bentrimmen8430 Oh, we actually haven't been to Lastovo yet! I've heard that it's smaller & quieter than Vela Luka. What were your impressions of it?

[@sassa9553]

Oliver Dragojević 👍

[@PureDetour]

❤️❤️❤️ Such a beautiful song he wrote for such a beautiful place ❤️❤️❤️

[@maricallo6143]

@@PureDetour Yes, a beautiful song, but he just sang it, it was written by another guy from Vela Luka, and a friend, Oliver's version was most popular, however. It was never recorded by Oliver for any album, though, the recording is probably from a live performance.

[@motovlogmusicofficial3155]

Nice video boss,new friends here from 🇮🇩

[@PureDetour]

Hi! Thanks so much...is that the flag of Indonesia?!? I can't tell it's so small but if it is Indonesia, we hope to see you really soon! Thanks for watching!

[@johndragojevic6946]

And I think that was the first video that I seen you and Jeff not eating congrats on your diet

[@PureDetour]

😂😂😂

[@Darlingdigits]

We’re off to Korcula end of this month for a week . Is it worth hiring a car in order to see as much of the island as possible?

[@PureDetour]

Hi! You're going to love Korcula! Vela Luka, Korcula town, Lumbarda, etc are all lovely towns. There are buses if you like, but a car would be more convenient obviously. If you have a car you can also get to Orebic on a quick car ferry and visit all the lovely wineries on the Peljesac peninsula and best seafood in Ston/Mali Ston area.

[@ostojamartrix]

See ,No ocean😁😉

[@PureDetour]

People keep correcting us on this. It may be a European vs North American thing. To us, any large body of salt water can be called ocean, we'll have to get used to calling it the sea.

[@ostojamartrix]

@@PureDetour everyone in the world except you in N.America when they say ocean they mean one of the 3, Pacific, Atlantic or Indian and that is the only correct one, all the rest are seas.

[@PureDetour]

@@ostojamartrix, Well Angela was trying to be nice about it, I won't . Seas (outside a few irrelevant ones) , and gulfs for that matter, are connected to oceans. The only differentiating factor is that seas are partially enclosed by land. They are as a matter of fact an extension of the ocean. Now if you feel the continued need to play semantics on the internet, go do it on someone else's channel or find a hobby

[@ostojamartrix]

@@PureDetour I don't know why you got offended, I'm just stating the facts, maybe I was too direct and my writing in English isn't exactly the most accurate, so it turned out that way, but you have a good and interesting channel that I stumbled upon last night.

[@FZ9308]

Correction: Oliver Dragojevic (greatest legend of all time) sang 'Sjećanje na Vela Luka". I believe Branko Žuvela Doda is the author of Croatian song " Sjećanje na Velu Luku "

[@antunboskovic1470]

Mojave.baba .

[@zagrepcanin82]
