Korcula

The island of Korcula is known for its vineyards and berry fruits, but the most interesting part is certainly its city. Although less known than other municipalities in Dalmatia, it is certainly one of the most beautiful places in Croatia. Located on a peninsula, between stone buildings and defensive towers, Korcula has maintained its original appearance. The metropolis was created in a very ingenious way, the plan of its streets is arranged in a herringbone pattern, the spine is the main road that passes in front of the cathedral, then these lanes of the road meet the sea on both sides. Entering the oldest district, through a magnificent staircase, you will reach the great Revelin tower. Passing through the door, you arrive on the main road that leads to the Basilica of San Marco. You will notice on the facade the superb rose window carved with fantastic motifs, such as dragons and mermaids. The ball clock, with its colored shades, indicates the different phases of the moon. The city has many other monuments to visit. Most are located around Piazza San Marco, dominated by the cathedral of the same name. Korcula boasts of being the birthplace of the famous Marco Polo. Legend or reality? Hard to say. In any case, it is possible to visit his alleged home... Otherwise, you can admire the Church of All Saints of the XIV century, or the Church of San Michele of the XVIII century. Its beaches are considered the most beautiful in Croatia, but don't expect kilometers of sandy beaches, because they are small pebbles of secluded and rocky beaches, but still perfect for swimming or sunbathing in total relaxation.
