"Korcula is a walled medieval village on the Adriatic island, known as the purported home to Marco Polo. It's more of a day-trip destination, reducing tourist crowds by sundown, allowing for a relaxing atmosphere in the cafés and narrow alleys." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Low-key, charmingly rustic and relatively affordable, the island's walled peninsular Old Town faces craggy mountains, giving it the feel of a mini-Dubrovnik." - RICKSTEVES
