Korcula Island
One of the bigger Adriatic islands, Korcula Island boasts
beautiful views, secluded beaches, vineyards and olive groves, and
pretty towns and harbours. Korcula Town is the island's main town
situated on the north west coast and the old town, sticking out
into the sea, is typically Dalmatian, likened to a small Dubrovnik,
with its red roofed houses, fortifications and enclosing walls.
Marco Polo is said to have been born here and his house is now a
museum. The town is also famous for its 15th-century Moreska sword
dance which is performed during summer. Other main towns on the
island include the tourist centre of Lumbarda surrounded by
vineyards and coves, and the port town of Vela Luka on the east
coast.
