Description

Korčula is a historic fortified town on the protected east coast of the island of Korčula .The old city is surrounded by walls, and the streets are arranged in a herringbone pattern allowing free circulation of air but protecting against strong winds. Korčula, is the island of Marco Polo, it has many beautiful beaches and bays, luxurious hotels and summer houses, centuries-old olive groves and vineyards and ancient villas. The “must see” sights are the Cathedral of St. Marco, the center of religious life, and the most beautiful Gothic Renaissance monument in the old town of Korčula. There is also the Korčula Town museum, situated in the Gabrijelis palace. The 15th-century Franciscan monastery with a beautiful cloister is situated on the islet of Badija, near Korčula Town.Folk knight dances, Moreška, Kumpanija and Mostra, represent a part of the tradition of Korčula. Korčula is also famous for its gastronomic delicacies, typical for the Mediterranean region. Who would not love to have lunch consisting of brodet (fish stew), made of fresh fish with polenta, goat and sheep cheese and homemade quince jelly for dessert – the kontonjata? Ston Small town with the longest town walls in Europe Ston is a small town on the Pelješac peninsula, known for the oldest active saltworks in the world, growing mussels, wine production, but primarily for its 5,5 km long town walls, which are the longest in Europe. Narrow, quiet streets, elegant old houses and traces of ancient cultures look as if they were scattered all around the town. One can say that Stone once had a very rich history, in which it did not lack anything, given that the salt was once considered and called “the white gold.” It is possible that its magnificent walls were built exactly thanks to salt.
