About Korčula old town
Korčula’s old town fills a small peninsula, ringed by walls and towers, with its streets laid out like a fishbone. At the centre rises the Cathedral of St Mark, its square the heart of town life. Wander the narrow lanes, look into the churches and little museums, then walk the sea walls as the sun sets over the Pelješac channel. It is compact and easily explored on foot, and loveliest early in the morning.
