Korcula Island
the town of Korcula and Mljet Island National Park
A wonderful cruise along the islands of Hvar, Brac, and the Pelješec peninsula brings us to the fabled island of Korcula and its historic capital town of Korcula. Korcula is considered to be the birthplace of Marco Polo and legend has it that the town was founded by the Trojan hero Antenor. Framed by the blue-green Adriatic, Korcula Town is a walker’s delight. Its majestic entrance (originally a moat surrounded the main gate) and cobblestone streets wind around the entire town and take you past some fascinating churches as well as the legendary home of Marco Polo. If you wish, we can arrange for a private guide, or just wander around by yourself - you can’t get lost! And while you are in town, be sure to try some of the fine Korcula wines like their white Pošip, the authentic grape variety of this lovely island. After your Korcula Town excursion we’ll take you by speedboat to Mljet National Park.
Mljet Island National Park Just a short cruise from Korcula is Miljet Island National Park, which is so pristine and gorgeous that visiting boats are only allowed in at certain times of the day and in certain numbers. What makes Miljet so special is not only its densely wooded environment and two beautiful saltwater lakes, Veliko Jezero and Mali Jezero, but a 12th - century Benedictine monastery perched in the middle of Veliko Jezero lake! There’s lots of time to visit the monastery, swim in one of the lakes, even rent a bike or scooter to ride around the island and stop wherever you wish to enjoy the lush views or perhaps a dip in the cove at Pomena.
