Awaiting Your Return From Shore |
Croatia’s island coast stretches
for 110 miles and boasts a thousand islands, of which Korçula is said to be
one of the most beautiful, as well as the largest. Boasting an average of
3,000 hours of sunshine per annum, hundreds of different species of aromatic
Mediterranean plants and dense woods, plus a rich ecology, it is easy to
understand why seasoned travelers compare Korçula to a latter-day Eden.
Separated from the mainland peninsula of Peljesac by a channel of only one
mile, Korçula’s main town is one of the best preserved medieval towns in the
Mediterranean.
The house in which Marco Polo supposedly was born in 1214 can still be
seen in town.
Pier Information
Depending upon local conditions the ship will either dock or anchor.
Either way the landing pier is close to the center of town. Taxis,
though limited in number, should be available in the pier area. Most
everything is within easy walking distance. |
Shopping
For souvenirs you might find typical clothing, local fragrances and gold
jewelry in shops around the Main Square of the Old Town. |
Cuisine
As in any Mediterranean port, you can expect to find wonderful fresh
fish. As Korçula is a resort, eating options are numerous. Local wines
are also well worth sampling. |
Other Sights
Korçula has a rich scenic coastline with many nice beaches and quaint
villages such as Vela Luka, Pupnat and Smokvica. The island has green
vineyards, olive groves and dense pine woods making a countryside drive
a pleasant outing. |
