Getting to Korcula is easy during the summer, thanks to regular catamaran service. The boat ride takes only 2 hours and you can choose from several departures daily.
To reach Peljesac on your own and explore little villages and hidden beaches, you'll have to rent a car (it's 1-1.5 hour driver from Dubrovnik).
