KORCULA
Korcula is one of the largest of the
thousand Croatian islands, on which there are traces of thousands
years old European cultures and civilizations (Greek, Roman, Illyrian,
Croatian, Venetian). The island’s city with the same name, Korcula, is
among the most beautiful towns on the Croatian coast and is known for
its unique architecture. Korcula is the native town of the
famous world traveler and explorer of the Far East — Marco Polo
(1254). His native house has been preserved in the old city center.
The largest settlements on the island are Korcula, Lumbarda, Vela
Luka, Blato, Racisce, Smokvica, Zrnovo, Pupnat and Cara. Today Korcula
is connected with the rest of Europe and the world by ship and ferry
lines, roads and the airports in Dubrovnik and Split.They
say that Korcula is an island with the most legends and monuments and
along with Lokrum and
Mljet the Croatian island most
covered with forests. Towards the end of the 13 th century near
Korcula there was a naval battle between Venice and Genoa. Marco Polo,
the famous traveler and travel book writer who was believed to have
been born on Korcula was on the side of the Venetians. This is an
island with many known towns: Korcula, Lumbarda and Vela Luka, the
knight dance 'moreska' from the end of the 15 th century,famous
stone-cutters, sailors and ship builders. Far away out in the open sea
is the island Lastovo of an area of 50 square kilometers, with an
indented pebble coast with sandy beaches and a few islands on the west
and east coast. The houses on Lastovo
are built one above the other one: each one is entitled to its own
share in the sun, air and the view.
