The first main islands we visit is Korcula where the town of Kortula is nested on the edge of a small peninsula surrounded with a 13 century stone wall broken up by watch towers. A cannel built by the Venetians further isolate the town. You evidently, can take the Venetian out of Venice, but you can’t take out their love of cannels. The local boy makes good is Marco Polo, who was allegedly born on this island. Though many in Venice would disagree, this island is ignoring the naysayers and is more than willing to provide the souvenirs of the young explorer to reinforce their claim.
