Korita su selo u unutrašnjosti nastalo u 15. stoljeću nakon seobe sa Žare i nakon pustošenja Okuklje.Ime je dobio po udubljenjima prirodnog kamena koja su se tijekom kišnih dana punila vodom.Zbog svog zemljopisnog položaja, Korita je bila važan strateški položaj za praćenje voda Mljetskog kanala i otvorenog mora.Usred sela nalazi se kula koja je služila za obranu od čestih gusarskih napada. Tijekom 17. i 18. stoljeća ljudi su se bavili ribolovom i mjesta su se bogatila. Glavno zanimanje bilo je loviti i prodavati slanu ribu, posebno srdele.Za to vrijeme selo naseljavaju dubrovački, stonski i drugi krajevi, a Korita poprima obilježja urbanog središta.

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.
