    Awaiting Your Return From Shore | Croatia’s island coast stretches 
    for 110 miles and boasts a thousand islands, of which Korçula is said to be 
    one of the most beautiful, as well as the largest. Boasting an average of 
    3,000 hours of sunshine per annum, hundreds of different species of aromatic 
    Mediterranean plants and dense woods, plus a rich ecology, it is easy to 
    understand why seasoned travelers compare Korçula to a latter-day Eden. 
    Separated from the mainland peninsula of Peljesac by a channel of only one 
    mile, Korçula’s main town is one of the best preserved medieval towns in the 
    Mediterranean. The house in which Marco Polo supposedly was born in 1214 can still be 
    seen in town.
 
 
      
        | Pier Information Depending upon local conditions the ship will either dock or anchor. 
        Either way the landing pier is close to the center of town. Taxis, 
        though limited in number, should be available in the pier area. Most 
        everything is within easy walking distance.

        | Shopping For souvenirs you might find typical clothing, local fragrances and gold 
        jewelry in shops around the Main Square of the Old Town.
 |  
        | Cuisine As in any Mediterranean port, you can expect to find wonderful fresh 
        fish. As Korçula is a resort, eating options are numerous. Local wines 
        are also well worth sampling.
 |  
        | Other Sights Korçula has a rich scenic coastline with many nice beaches and quaint 
        villages such as Vela Luka, Pupnat and Smokvica. The island has green 
        vineyards, olive groves and dense pine woods making a countryside drive 
        a pleasant outing.
