The Dubrovnik Riviera/Islands region
Korcula is situated in the province of Dalmatia, the sunniest part of the Mediterranean, and an area rich in history dating from its settlement by Greeks and later Romans. Subsequently governed by Venice, Napoleon and for a short time the British, it is now a vibrant town situated on the main coastal ferry route between Rijeka, Split and Dubrovnik, with direct links to Italy.
Korcula / Zrnovska Banja area
The apartment is located in Zrnovska Banja, which is 3kms (2 miles) from Korcula on a local bus route. There are two beautiful, sheltered bays with beaches just 250 metres away, and 3 restaurants within walking distance. Korcula Town is a smaller version of Dubrovnik, with many interesting buildings, lovely cobbled streets and alleyways, and intimate restaurants. Of course it is proud of its reputation as the birthplace of the great explore Marco Polo, and this is celebrated with the Marco Polo Fest in early September, re-enacting the 13th-century battle off Korcula against the Genoan fleet when he was captured. The weekly Moreska Sword Dance is also a popular attraction, along with the many open-air classical and modern musical events. Don't miss the local "Klapa" choirs in either the concerts or the spontaneous performances in the squares.
