How many islands and islets are hidden between Dubrovnik and Split? According to experts, there are more than a thousand along this stretch of Croatian coast. Bathed by the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic, these shores are full of small, idyllic destinations, spread out along the Dalmatian coastline. Following a path between sea and mountains, this Route du Bonheur feels like something of an Odyssey, in search of a past steeped in art, myths and legends, but is also notable for the pleasures of swimming along white sand beaches and in secluded coves.

Hotel and restaurant on the seafront. People say that the Silk Road started from this island; Korčula has good reason to be proud to be home to Marco Polo's house, a stone’s throw from Lešić Dimitri Palace. The building's history dates back to the 17th century, when the Lešić family, rich property owners and merchants combined a number of semi-detached houses to create a palace worthy of that name. It has been meticulously renovated yet with a touch of contemporary design; its historical character and original layout have been retained and it now offers a small number of independent suites. Each evokes a step in Marco Polo's journey towards China, in a harmonious décor, with top-quality materials. ... Learn moreless
