Racisce

Racisce is a village nested around deep bay that is carved on the Northern cost of Korcula Island facing Peljesac Peninsula. It is located about 12 kilometers from Korcula Old Town and is connected with Korcula by narrow asphalted road that runs from Korcula Town through the bays of Medvinjak, Zrnovska Banja and Kneze until it reaches its final destination - Racisce.

As Croatia becomes more popular as a travel destination, Racisce has developed as a tourist place too. It has it's own small hotel called Mediteran as well as a lot of privately owned apartments and rooms available for holiday rent. Terrace in front of hotel Mediteran is popular meeting place for local cafe society where one can sit and enjoy the cold drink watching world slowly passing by. In the other corner of the bay, there is traditional 'buche' playground - the place where local people play bawling game, a typical Mediterranean pass time (la boule).

As Racisce is located beneath of the high hill, it is a great place to enjoy walking, mountain biking and exploring surrounding area in your own pace. There are lot of small and unmade roads and paths that can take you on unusual and secluded spots like vineyards and olive groves, from some of which there are very nice views on Peljesac's Sveti Ilija mountain and Peljesac channel.
