Korcula

Korčula is a town on the east coast of the island of Korčula, in Croatia, in the Adriatic. The old city is surrounded by walls, and the streets are arranged in a herringbone pattern allowing free circulation of air but protecting against strong winds. Korčula is tightly built on a promontory that guards the narrow sound between the island and the mainland. The town's historic sites include the central Romanesque-Gothic Cathedral of St Mark, the 15th-century Franciscan monastery with a Venetian Gothic cloister, the civic council chambers, the palace of the former Venetian governors, grand 15th- and 16th-century palaces of the local merchant nobles, and the massive city fortifications. The island is known for its natural beauty, wine culture, and stunning old city. It's a great destination for families, with many interesting things to do, including bike riding through vineyards, taking in a traditional dance performance, and discovering hidden beaches
