Following in the footsteps of Marco Polo

Before embarking on the Silk Road, Marco Polo took his first steps in the alleyways of Korčula. Follow in the footsteps of the famous explorer as you admire the Gothic flourishes of the palaces in the Old Town, or works by Tintoretto in St. Mark's Cathedral. By car or on foot, it's incredibly easy to explore the island, its villages and their narrow streets, as well as its vineyard-covered hillsides–be sure to sample the local wine on your travels.

Sea excursions aboard the Kata

The Kata is one of the last traditional wooden boats still operating in the Korčula archipelago. A proud symbol of local shipbuilding heritage, and now beautifully restored, it’s a delightful means to explore neighboring islands and dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic. On board, you'll be served a gourmet meal but can otherwise sit back and enjoy the simple pleasures of swimming, fishing and sailing with the wind.

Immerse in history, cultural and natural heritage

Blessed with a mild and almost subtropical climate, Korčula, situated in the south of Dalmatia, is warmer than any of the islands to the north. That is probably one of the reasons why the town of Korčula is one of the most significant urban settlements on the east Adriatic coast. The town's progressive spirit is best seen in its statutes from 1214, that regulated every aspect of island life and inspired other towns in the region to do the same. Walk along narrow medieval streets where Marco Polo took the first steps along the Silk Route and find out about local ways of life and fascinating facts that are not in the guidebooks.
