Living in Marco,s Street

Korcula from the sea


Why is there a love seat outside the Bishop,s Palace?
The ferry from Hvar approached Korcula town and we immediately knew we were going to like this place! The approach from the sea is spectacular - one of the best in the Mediterranean. The old town with its high sea walls, towers and old houses is unforgettable.

Our accommodation is waterfront with great views. It is on the corner of Marco Polo’s street from when he was a boy! To swim, we walk just a few paces and go down the steps to the water.

We have enjoyed wandering through the old town. It is very compact! We have visited churches, museums, towers, but best of all is simply strolling along the waterfront and the labyrinths of lanes that make up the old town.

It is a place to relax, to eat, drink and unwind. The restaurants that are set up for the summer along the waterfront are great, as is the local food and wine.

nice looking castle, glad you found somewhere to sit and have rest for five minutes in the second picture

Not sure that a stone bench sounds too enticing for loving, or whatever it might be that you do on a love seat.

So, the question begs - did you walk around shouting "Marco!" to see if anyone answered with "Polo!"?

PS Forgot to say love the view on approach, it looks just like a Mediterranean mediaeval walled city should look like!

When we went swimming we tried to organise a game with the local kids
