Just under 2 Hours from Hvar via catamaran bought me to this very pretty island of Korcula. Just off the Dalmation coastline and with just over 15,522 inhabitants this makes this a popular island with tourists and backpackers who are looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing. The views from the coastal roads and paths are just breathtaking!

It is rumoured that Korcula was the birthplace of Marco Polo. Although there are restaurants/ cafe bars and souveir shops named after him I have yet read any hard evidence. Will get back to you on that. Also, Korcula is twinned with Rothway in Scotland.
