Korcula

Korcula island is a 2 hour ferry trip from Dubrovnik via Hvar. It’s said to be the birth place of Marco Polo so much alludes to his presence here. The Venetian influence is unmistakable in its shuttered stone buildings and winding cobblestone alleyways. Crystal clear waters surround this island and we swam in its pristine waters daily for our early morning swims. We stayed right in the middle of one of those alleys in an architecturally renovated private home. Stunning views, creative spaces and splashes of history from the old drinking fountains to the original stone steps and walls. So beautiful. Our gorgeous hostess organised a wine tasting and Eco Lunch at a local organic farm. This was amazing. This day will linger in our memory long after we leave Korcula behind.Read more
