This area is known for their wine production. The best wine in Croatia comes from the valley between two mountain ranges on this peninsula. From the port we took a ferry to the island of Korcula pronounced Kor CHOO la.
Korcula claims that Marco Polo comes from this town. They can not prove that he did live on Korcula but they are establishing a museum to honor his discoveries. The old town has many narrow streets and is set up to catch the winds to allow for ventilation. The main street runs through the centre of town with side streets branching off in both directions like the bones of a fish. Like most of the old towns there are lots of stairs and cobblestones made from the limestone.
