Close to the Marco Polo home, we arrived there later in the evening and discovered it as we were walking by, because the doors were wide open and a beautiful vocal concert was going on that evening. During the day there is a small fee to get in.

One of the most beautiful view and beaches at Korcula island, to which leads a steep and windy road down to cliffs. Unfortunately we had no time to stay at the beach, only wanted to take some pictures, and It is worth to see.

I was attrackted by nice terrace and great interior. Interior design is just perfect! All of the arts (paintings, sculptures, jewelry...) are stuning. The gallery owner is so nice and kind, we had a nice chat with her. Ended up buying some small sculpture that reminds us of beautiful vacation time in Korčula.....

Korkula's city walls are impressive, surrounding the old city, particularly if you approach from the sea. Korcula is one of Coatia‘s finest surviving fortified medieval towns. Defenses were started in the 13th century to protect its citizens from land and sea attacks. Threats diminished in the 18th century, so parts of the wall were dismantled, and Korcula expanded beyond the walls. By the early 19th century large proportion of the walls were neglected and parts demolished, mainly the upper part of eastern walls (Zakerjan area) as well as part of the western walls (Riva- Korcula port area). Walking the walls gave me a feeling for medieval defense: thick stone curtain walls with twelve towers, battlements with arrow slits, and city gates with inner and outer doors. There are two main gates; the south gate (called the Land Gate, Kopnena Vrata) has the Venetian lion insignia above the door, signifying an alliance with this strong trading partner in the north Adraitic. A vaulted passage leads though the Revelin Tower (built from 1493 to 1496) and to the main town square by St. Mark's Cathedral. The west side entrance is called Sea Gate (Morska Vrata). It ascends a Baroque stairway from the harbor along the open loggia (built in 1584) into the town. Defensive towers which have survived include - Zakerjan Tower: a hemispherical tower on the north side - Kanavelic Tower: a hemispherical tower on the north west side - Sea Gate Tower: a square tower near the Sea Gate - Small Governor’s Tower: a cylindrical tower on the southwest side - Large Governor’s Tower: a truncated cone on the southwest side - Revelin Tower: a square tower over the land gate - All Saints Tower: a truncated tower on the southeast side Circling the walls from the outside is about 700m. The towers and parts of the wall are lighted at night, which adds a romantic touch to an evening in Korcula. The walls are always open, and there is no entrance fee, although there are some business establishments in the some of the towers.

We visited Korcula on a day trip from Dubrovnik and it was well worth the visit. The Museum captures the history over many centuries of history and is well worth a visit

This is the only place I've gone to with cocktails made and served with dumb waiters (or a long bit of string) We got to the top up a set of very steep stairs , but had a pleasant cocktail 30 minutes with a good view over the water . Good atmosphere and totally open to the elements on the top floor (inside was available , but who cared about that )
