On Monday, September 18, Bob and I caught a 6:30 am ferry from Dubrovnik to the island of Korčula. The ferry trip took about 2 1/2 hours getting us to the island at 9:10. Korčula is an island of about 15,500 people. It is also the name of the main town on the island, population 5,600. The town’s main claim to fame for tourists, other than being a beautiful island get-away, is its medieval towers in the Old Town and being the supposed birthplace of Marko Polo.
After deboarding from the ferry, we had a picnic breakfast by the harbor and then walked a quick 5 minutes into Old Town in Korčula (the town) to our accommodation. We stayed in a room over a pizza restaurant that faced the promenade on one side of the Old Town peninsula.
