Pansion Bebic, Lumbarda

June 30th 2008

I’ve known the Bebic family for years, ever since I first started writing Lonely Planet guides, so staying at the Pansion Bebic in  Lumbarda, Korcula  was a kind of homecoming.

With a schedule that leaves Dubrovnik in the morning and returns from Korcula in the afternoon, it’s finally possible to visit Korcula Island as a day trip from Dubrovnik without paying a fortune! As fares are subsidised by the government, they are more than reasonable, certainly a lot cheaper than taking an organised excursion. Korcula Islanders are the only unhappy ones here. They were kinda hoping the schedules would allow day trips to Dubrovnik from Korcula, not the other way around.
