Korcula is one of the best preserved medieval towns in all of the Mediterranean with
red roofed houses, beautiful architecture and city walls surrounding its narrow streets.
Known also for its marvelous nature, Korcula is one of the greenest islands in the
Adriatic. Of course Korcula boasts a gorgeous seaside with variety of pebble, rock and
even sandy beaches for visitors to enjoy. The island's position in the Adriatic makes
for an ideal stopover when traveling between Dubrovnik and Hvar.
The Old Town center is highlighted by the Cathedral of St. Marco and the house of Marco
Polo, both essential stops for any visitor. The island produces some of the finest white
wines in the region and it is a short trip away from the neighboring Peljesac Peninsula
famous for its high quality red wines. The island is rich in culture and tradition
with a storied past dating back to ancient Greek times.
If you are lucky during your stay you will catch a performance of Moreska,
a spectacular knight costumed combat dance with swords. This dance has it origin
from Spain, and has been traditionally performed since the 15th century.
It is a battle between the armies of a black and a white king and is traditionally
performed on July 27th, the day in honor of Saint Todor. Occasionaly it is repeated
during the tourist season, due to great interest for this spectacle.

Marco Polo (1254 - 1324) was a medieval Venetian merchant, and a world renowned writer
and traveller. Together with his father Nicolas and his uncle Maffeo, Marco Polo was
amongst the first Europeans to travel the famous Silk Road trade route,
stretching from the Middle East to China.
According to a local tradition, Marco Polo was born at Korcula in 1254 to an established
family of merchants, although there is no irrefutable proof of this claim.
The alleged house of birth is under the protection of the Korcula Town Hall and it
will soon be turned into a Museum of Marco Polo.
