Located on the Adriatic Sea coast, the Croatian city of Dubrovnik is in the Dalmatia region of the country. The city has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most visited destinations in the Mediterranean. One of the most popular sites in the city are its walls which stretch for almost 2 km around the city. The walls are between 4 to 6 meters thick on the landward side but are much thinner on the seaward side. The defensive intentions of the wall are characterised by the system of towers and turrets. The city's walls have been a popular filming location for the HBO series Game of Thrones who use the walls as the location for the fictional city of Kings Landing. Also in the city is its Baroque cathedral which was built in the 18th century and contains an impressive Treasury with relics of Saint Blaise.
Dubrovnik's Ferry Terminal is located in the Kantafig area of Gruž bay roughly 3 km from the Old Town. All ferries to and from Dubrovnik arrive and depart from here. Destinations served by the port include Bari, Rijeka, Split, Stari Grad, Korcula and Mijet.
The Croatian island of Korcula is one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic sea and is also one of the most popular destinations in Croatia. The island's name was originally Korkyra Melaina (Black Corfu) and was given to it by the Greeks who named many of the Croatian islands. The name was perhaps given to the island in reference to its densely wooded terrain. The island has a rich cultural and artistic heritage and is also a nature lover's paradise with many tucked away beaches and coves, uninhabited islands and stunning views. The island's main town is also named Korcula and is a typical medieval walled Dalmatian city, with its round towers and red roofed houses.
The town's Old Town is a walled medieval city that is situated on an oval-shaped piece of land that sticks out into the Peljesac Channel. The Old Town itself is characterised by narrow streets that all stem of the town's main street. The fish bone shape was used in Korcula Old Town design to reduce effects of wind and sun and to provide its inhabitants with sheltered and comfortable accommodation. The architecture in the Old Town is mainly influenced by Venetian Renaissance, although there are also some fine examples of 1930's architecture.
