The easiest way to navigate this small town is by foot. The older part of the town straddles the coastline and a very pleasant walk connects the main beach at Trstenica (on the Dubrovnik side of Orebić) to the main ferry terminal.
For a faster moving, the option is to hire bicycle or scuter in one of the tourist agencies.
There are three main daily connections to Korčula:
1) Car ferry (also takes foot passengers), which leaves you at port Dominče, approximately 3-4 kms from Korčula old town - this is more suited to motorists/cyclists.
2) Passenger ferry, which leaves you directly at Korčula old town.
3) Taxi boat (from june to september), which also leaves you in Korčula old town.
Prices for passengers are same in all three options (12 kunas or cca 1,5 euro).
There is a local bus service throughout the peninsula with buses to Lovište and Trpanj as well as services to Dubrovnik & Zagreb.

Franciscan monastery (great panoramic view) - you can drive or hike to the monastery. To get there, follow the Viganj/Loviste road out of Orebic (at the western side of the town) and at the Hotel Villa Julija, take the small road to the right - this is clearly sign-posted. Please be aware that the incline the entire length of this road is steep and careful driving is advised. However, the view from the monastery really is breathtaking. If you are going this far, you should enquire about eating at Panorama (read more in "Eat" section).

*A very nice fast food
*This rustic konoba (restaurant) serves up traditional Dalmatian dishes including prsut (ham) and cheeses, large casseroles served "under the bell" (you will need to order these in advance as they need to be cooked for several hours in advance under the embers of a large open fire) and truffle dishes (the pasta dish is a real treat). The view (as the name of the restaurant suggests) is spectacular.
