KORCULA - CROATIA -Island Of Korcula it's one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic sea. It is also one of the most popular travel destinations in this part of Croatia.
Like most of the Croatian islands, the Greeks, who gave it the name Korkyra Melaina or “Black Corfu” for its dark and densely wooded appearance, first settled Korcula. The island itself is rich in art and culture, as well as beautiful nature such as numerous tiny and secluded beaches and bays, small and uninhabited islands and breathtaking views. The main town on the island itself is Korcula a typical medieval walled Dalmatian city, with its round defensive towers and cluster of red-roofed houses.
Marco Polo (1254 - 1324) the famous world-traveller and writer, as well as a Venetian merchant, is reputed to have been born in Korcula.In the old town of Korcula there is his apparent house of birth, which is shortly to be turned into a Museum of Marco Polo
Beside Marco Polo, Korcula has long art and cultural tradition, its museums, galleries and festivals.
The sword dance Moreska, world famous folk drama / dance, which used to be played all over Mediterranean, is currently solely performed in Korcula.
Korcula has a lot to offer to visitor to see and learn - it's art and history, its culture, traditional crafts and skills of stone masonry and shipbuilding, sword dances, music, writings as well as it’s most famous inhabitant – Marco Polo and his heritage, beside all natural beauties, views and beaches.
Korcula nearest airport is Dubrovnik Airport
Korcula is fairly easy accessible from Croatian mainland by various ferries.
