Korita ist ein Dorf im Landesinneren, das im 15. Jahrhundert nach der Abwanderung aus Žara und nach der Zerstörung von Okuklje entstand.Es wurde nach den Vertiefungen aus Naturstein benannt, die sich an regnerischen Tagen mit Wasser füllten.Aufgrund seiner geografischen Lage war Korita ein wichtiger strategischer Punkt für die Überwachung der Gewässer des Mljet-Kanals und des offenen Meeres.In der Mitte des Dorfes steht ein Turm, der zur Verteidigung gegen die häufigen Piratenangriffe diente. Im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert beschäftigten sich die Menschen mit der Fischerei und die Orte wurden reicher. Die Hauptbeschäftigung war der Fang und Verkauf von gesalzenem Fisch, insbesondere von Sardinen.In dieser Zeit wird das Dorf von Dubrovnik, Ston und anderen Gebieten besiedelt, und Korita nimmt die Merkmale eines städtischen Zentrums an.

I came here for a spiritual nourishment journey and visited the numerous churches around. I felt at peace while in the church and my spirit was renewed. What a wonderful experience I had.

This village is a really good hiding spot from everything, it is about five minutes to the shoreline but it is a really good town, there is a tower that was used as a defense tower during the war, it was my first time seeing one and i loved it

It was an educative tour, I toured the tower that acted as a defense against frequent pirate attacks. I also learnt that Korita's strategic position was for monitoring the waters of the open sea. It was a wonderful experience of learning.

We went for fishing with the local fishermen and even caught the salted fish especially the sardines. We were cooked some and I must admit that they are to die for. We also bought some sardines to take back home.

The history of how this urban centre came to be was fascinating. I visited its historical tower which was used to monitor piracy and the view from the tower was breathtaking. I was able to watch people fish. It is such a lovely and small urban centre.

This urban centre is so magical. I loved its environment. It was so serene. I really enjoyed hiking to the top of a hill where there was a tower they used monitor pirate attacks. The people of this town were so hospitable.

Visiting the defense tower in the middle of the village was a revitalizing experience. I learned that the location was built to protect from pirate attacks that were frequent in that era. The location was strategic in monitoring the waters of the Mijet channel and the open sea.
