Korcula

Korcula Island August 28th

Our ship landed this morning at the island of Korcula. The beautiful walled city of Korcula town is filled with twisting narrow streets positions to take advantage of the seasonal winds. Our morning tour took us to the main Cathedral dedicated to St. Paul, the city museum, and the home of Marco Polo. The later landmark is disputed by the city of Venice though most evidence points to Korcula. We continued on for a three mile hike high above the city. The cool winds from the north made the trip enjoyable. We enjoyed a swim in the cool waters on a rocky beach next to our ship.
