Cruise offers to the port Korčula / Croatia
The town of Korcula where in 1254 the legendary world traveler and explorer of the Far East, the most famous travel writers of all times, Marco Polo, was born, is one of the best preserved medieval towns in the Mediterranean. From here ruled Greeks and Romans, Illyrians, Croats and Venetians and all shaped the city. Today it is the center of cultural and tourist life on the island, whereby one encounters history at every step. With hundreds of different fragrant Mediterranean plants and covered with vast forests, Korcula was in earlier times Korkyra Melaina, which means black, thus thick-wooded Korcula. Due to its abundant wood components Korcula has dealt in ship building, the best suitable timber for shipbuilding it delivers to many countries. The natural stone white houses (from stones of this island was built the White House in Washington.) Widely visible towers of churches and chapels and repeatedly small country houses enrich the colorful wide landscape that at some point and somehow merges with the crystal-sparkling sea.
