Korčula is a historic walled town on the island of the same name, renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture and narrow stone streets. Visitors can walk the ancient city walls, admire the 15th-century St. Mark's Cathedral, and explore the house said to be Marco Polo's birthplace. The town's layout is a fishbone pattern, designed to channel sea breezes and minimize summer heat. Beyond the walls, vineyards and olive groves dot the landscape, offering a taste of Dalmatian rural life.
