Owner's Message
Korčula enchants the senses with its timeless beauty and casts an eternal spell of wonder on those who walk on its ancient stone.
The Moreška sword dance in the town of Korčula, as well as the Kumpanija and Moštra sword dances in Čara, Pupnat and Žrnovo are as much rooted in the history and soul of the island as the brotherhoods that bind the community together.
Delve into Korčula's narrow alleys and discover ornate palaces and elegant homes; while in the evening, follow the fading light to reveal a beautiful sunset over the Adriatic.
