Croatia Sailing Trip | Part 6 | Korčula Island | Korcula Town

Part - 6 - Visiting Korčula Island
The Island Of Korčula is one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic sea. It is also one of the most popular travel destinations in this part of Croatia. Like most of the Croatian islands, the Greeks, who gave it the name Korkyra Melaina or 'Black Corfu' for its dark and densely wooded appearance, first settled here.
The island itself is rich in art and culture, as well as beautiful nature. It features numerous secluded beaches and bays, small and uninhabited Archipelago consisting of sixteen islets as well as breathtaking views from the top of the hills.
The main town on the island is also named Korčula where the sword dance Moreška, a well-known folk drama/dance, which used to be played all over the Mediterranean is now solely performed here. Korčula Old Town is a typical medieval walled Dalmatian town, with its round defensive walls and towers and cluster of red-roofed houses where Marco Polo (1254 - 1324) the famous world-traveller and writer, as well as a Venetian merchant, is reputed to have been born.In the Old Town, his supposed house of birth will shortly be turned into a Museum of Marco Polo.
Besides all the natural beauties the Island has a lot to offer to a visitor to see and learn in its galleries, museums and churches. The nearest airports are Split and Dubrovnik. The island is fairly easily accessible from the Croatian mainland by various ferries.

Thanks for watching, Stay tuned for more.

[한국어 정보]
크로아티아의 아드리아해 연안은 6천 킬로미터에 달하는 해안선에 천여 개의 섬들로 구성돼 있는데 하나같이 아름다운 모습과 고유한 특색을 간직하고 있어 이곳을 찾는 여행객이 해마다 늘어간다고 한다. 나는 그 중에서 스플리트와 두브로브니크 가운데에 위치한 코르출라 섬을 방문하기로 했다. 코르출라 섬은 마르코 폴로의 생가가 남아있어 그 유명세를 타는 곳이다. 좁은 골목을 사이에 두고 있는 마르코 폴로의 생가. 집안으로 들어서자 좁고 가파른 계단이 이어졌고, 벽면에는 마르코 폴로의 기억들이 남아있었다. 상인이자 여행가였던 마르코 폴로는 1271년 동방무역에 종사하는 아버지를 따라 페르시아로부터 텐산 남로를 경유, 원나라에 이르러 17년 간 관직에 머무르며 중국 각지에 발자취를 남긴다. 그리고 훗날 동방에서 보고 들은 것을 기록하여 만든 동방견문록을 통해 유럽인들의 동양관에 커다란 영향을 준다. 마르코 폴로가 그랬던 것처럼 여행자들은 마르코 폴로의 고향까지 와 자신의 자취를 남기고 있었다. 생가이기는 하지만 집안은 복원이 안 돼 들어가 볼 수 없었고, 나는 생가의 가장 높은 곳으로 올라가 보았다. 크로아티아는 어느 곳을 가든 숨어있던 아름답고 신비한 모습이 보물찾기처럼 펼쳐지는 것 같다. 마르코 폴로 미지의 세계 동방을 찾아 나섰듯 여행자들은 아드리아해 작은 섬 구석구석을 찾아 나선다.

Birthplace of Marco Polo in Korcula

Heavenly Korcula

The port city of Korcula appears as a typical medieval town with its mix of culture, thick walls, and red-roofed houses. They say that Marco-Polo was born here in 1254. You will be surprised by the quality of local talent you can find right out on the street. While in Korcula we witnessed by chance an a cappella group (called klapa in Croatia) practising in the marketplace.

Korcula Old Town, Croatia

After Split, we took the ferry to Korcula, Marco Polo's birthplace. Still early season, the town was quiet, with museums not yet open. But Korcula is worth the stop. Also see my St. Atuna Church video posted nearby and another to come.

Discover Korcula, Croatia

One of the best-preserved medieval towns in the Mediterranean, Korcula is instantly recognizable from its red-roofed houses and stunning walled-in Old Town, which juts out on a peninsula into the sea. Two of the biggest attractions are the Cathedral of St. Marco and Marco Polo's original home. One of the greenest islands on the Adriatic, Korcula is poised on the edge of nature on both sides, with rolling hills for hiking and biking behind it, and incredible beaches along the coast. This is the ideal stopover between Dubrovnik and Hvar, and is a pleasant destination for a several-day stay.⁠
