MARCO POLO AND FINE WINES

Korčula town is located in the eastern part of the island with the same name. Each year, it attracts thousands of tourists from different parts of the world who wish to learn about the history, culture, and tradition of this medieval Adriatic gem. Rich in numerous historic sites, the Old Town speaks of its wide past of the region, and it is a true museum in the open space. Whilst strolling down the street, we will see many churches, amongst which a distinctive St. Mark’s Cathedral with its magnificent bell tower proudly hovering over the old Town is seen looking out just in case any aggressor approached the town. The monumental fortresses, which is to surround the peninsular, speak of Korčula’s defensive nature. The most interesting thing is that Korčula is Marco Polo’s hometown, a well-known medieval traveller, who had undergone one of the most renowned trips to China.
