The stone backdrop of the old town will tell you the story of the famous explorer and world traveller Marco Polo, who was reportedly born in Korčula, as you walk past elegant palaces, charming squares, and navigate the narrow streets where you can hear the sounds of Moreška, the traditional sword dace from the town of Korčula and get a taste of life in the Mediterranean.
Unlike majestic Korčula, Vela Luka will get under your skin with its creative vigour, as the town that was the birthplace of many great artists. One of them, the legendary late Croatian singer and songwriter Oliver Dragojević, wrote some of his most beautiful songs in celebration of the Dalmatian way of life.
The island of Korčula lives in harmony with this Epicurean lifestyle through its traditional wine varieties Grk and Pošip, unique cuisine, picturesque villages in the interior, and numerous beautiful beaches. The island of Korčula is a unique combination of flavours and aromas that is very easy to fall in love with.
