The House of Marco Polo, nestled in the charming town of Korčula, is thought to be the birthplace of the legendary explorer and writer, Marco Polo. Recently acquired by Korčula’s Town Authority, there are exciting plans in the works to transform this historic site into the Museum of Marco Polo. Currently, visitors can explore a portion of the house, getting a sneak peek into its storied past.
As you ascend the narrow stairs, you'll find yourself in the Loggia, which offers breathtaking views over the rooftops of Korčula's Old Town. It's a perfect spot to snap a few photos and soak in the island’s timeless beauty. Korčula itself is a gem of the Adriatic Sea, with its medieval architecture and crystal-clear waters. Take a leisurely stroll through its cobblestone streets, and you might just feel like you've stepped back in time.
