Timeless Beauty on Korčula Island
Located between Split and Dubrovnik, the island Korčula is one of 1200 islands found along the Croatian coast. An island like any other, some might say…
But, once you have visited it, you will think of it as an island like no other. Take just a short stroll along Korčula’s boardwalk or through the narrow streets of its Old Town, with its historical architecture, and you will fall under this paradise island’s spell.
The island’s heart is Korčula Town (the island’s Old Town). The island’s main attraction is its medieval walls and towers, monuments, galleries, hotels, cafés, and restaurants.
Looking from above, you can see that the streets are positioned to form the shape of a fish bone. The reason for that is not just aesthetic. Since the whole town protrudes towards the sea, this design was created to provide sheltered living by reducing the influence of wind and sun.
Culture and Nature Meet Enology and Gastronomy on Korčula
There are a few must-visit sites, like the splendid St. Mark’s Cathedral built in the Gothic-Renaissance style, St. Mark’s Abbey Treasury, the gorgeous 15th-century All Saints’ Church, Revelin Tower, and Marco Polo’s House.
