Croatia
Specifically, I recommend the mussels at KB: I saw them hand-delivered the morning of the day I dined there. KB serves a heaping plateful for less than $10. These are the best mussels I've eaten in my life, and I take my food (too) seriously.

If you're walking from the town center to Hotel Liburna: it's halfway, on your right.
It is a villa which is divided into two huge apartments. It is close to the sea and Korcula old town. The people are very sweet. It's a great place for relaxation.
Ideal accommodation for young travellers and visitors.
One of the few hostels in Croatia, the One Love is perfectly suited for young people looking for a cheap stay in Korcula (around £10 a night). It is ideally situated and certainly value for money.
The rooms are spacious, modern and kept in extremely good condition. Downstairs is a bar and social area, beautifully decorated with Indian materials and furnishing and offering interesting drink offers - try the buckets.
The hostel itself is run by an exuberant part Croatian, part South African former Big Brother contestant who goes by the name of Z. The themed parties in the bar go on late into the night and are a great way of meeting people from all over the world. If aged 18 -30 the One Love is a highly recommended place to stay when visiting Korcula.
Easily found just off the main square, near the marco polo travel agency. For more details go to: www.korculabackpacker.com

We stayed in a newly refurbished studio apartment in the centre of the medieval Korcula town.
The location was perfect, just around the corner of the main piazza and cathedral.
The studio itself was very comfortable having its own private bathroom. The whole house was spotless.
The woman who owns and runs the place speaks good English and was very helpful and keen to give us all the information we needed to make our stay in Korcula pleasant.
So if you are planning to stay in Korcula, we would recommend this place.
Marco Polo Apartments, Ulica Marka Andrijica, Korcula Old Town, Korcula, Croatia

Traditional sword dance which used to be performed across the Mediterranean but which is now unique to Korcula. Costumes are fantastic, sword fighting is enthusiastic (you can actually see the sparks flaring as blades hit each other) and the performance reeks with history and culture.
Performed in the open air cinema in Korcula old town.
