Korčula Town – Reisgids Kroatië

A beautifully preserved medieval town on the island of Korčula, often called 'Little Dubrovnik' for its dense tangle of narrow stone lanes, Venetian palaces, and intact city walls jutting into the Adriatic. The Gothic Cathedral of St. Mark dominates the old town skyline, and the town is popularly — if debatably — claimed as the birthplace of Marco Polo. Korčula is renowned for its traditional Moreška sword dance, fine local wines (Pošip and Grk grapes grown on the island's sun-drenched slopes), and excellent seafood. It sits on the Split–Hvar–Korčula–Mljet–Dubrovnik ferry route, making it easy to combine with other Dalmatian destinations.
