The town of Kor\u010dula is located on the northeastern part of the island, whose lavish flora was noticed and recognized even in old times, so ancient Greeks named it Korkyra Melaina. Encouraged by preciousness of monumental and cultural heritage of this city, as well as by uniqueness of its architectural design, we rightly call it a stone pearl!<\/p>\n

Lovers of cultural sights will discover an inexhaustible source, due to its magnificent visual identity in the late Gothic and Renaissance style. We recommend visiting the brightest testimony of architectural virtuosity – St. Mark\u2019s Cathedral, and as a special attraction, the fantastic Marco Polo Museum, where seven memorable scenes from the life of the Kor\u010dula\u2019s most famous citizen are evoked in a superb setting and with accompaniment of an audio guide. Exactly this town is the birthplace of the world\u2019s famous traveler, merchant and explorer who lived in the 13th century, and wrote third most read book in the world \u2013 \u201cThe Million\u201d, in which he recorded knowledge and skills acquired during his 17-year stay in the Far East. <\/p>\n

Other than tangible heritage, the richness of Kor\u010dula\u2019s tradition is shown by unique performances of cultural associations that nurture secular knight games \u2013 More\u0161ka, Kumpanija and Mo\u0161tra. The city boasts a large number of events \u2013 from harmony singing groups\u2019 meetings, to Korkyra Baroque Festival, an international level event.<\/p>\n

Kor\u010dula is also proud of delightful cuisine, especially when it comes to excellent white wines with specific aromas (Grk and Po\u0161ip). Pair them with fish prepared in a variety of ways, seasoned with fine olive oil. From different types of meat, locals preferably prepare lamb, which enjoys the same status of a specialty as the delicious homemade smoked ham and cheese. There is also a broad range of traditional sweets, so make sure to try hrustule, cukarini and kla\u0161uni filled with walnuts, quince jelly \u2013 kotonjata\u2026<\/p>\n

For a pleasant stay in the town of Kor\u010dula, at your disposal are comfortable hotels and private accommodation facilities, sea camps and ACI marina. With a wide range of its own offerings, the town also offers the possibility of various excursions.<\/p>\n
