About Korčula Island
Korčula is a wooded Adriatic island in southern Dalmatia, with a walled medieval town, its own white wines and a narrow strait to Pelješac.
Korčula lies off the coast of southern Dalmatia, a long island covered in Aleppo pine, with Korčula Town on a small peninsula at its eastern end. The old town is enclosed by stone walls and towers, and its streets branch off a central spine in a herringbone pattern. St Mark's Cathedral, in pale local stone, stands at the top of the town, and Marco Polo is said by local tradition to have been born here.
