Korčula 🇭🇷

We decided to take the ferry to Korčula Island for a quick day trip.  The island is full of history over various occupations however it’s most famous for its claim as Marco Polo’s birth place, the renowned world explorer.  Little is known about Marco Polo’s early life and Venetian historians dispute Croatia’s declaration however it is documented that during the naval battle of Venice he was captured by the Genovese and held prisoner in Korčula.  

We spent some time just wandering around the steps of alley ways, shopping, and sampling desserts before getting on our way to Dubrovnik.  As a word of travel advice, never rely on the internet for ferry times!  We arrived at the port to watch the ferry pull away, so we ended up grabbing a drink and desserts until the next ferry came along.
