The Croatian town of Stari Grad is located on the northern side of the island of Hvar in the Dalmatia region of Croatia. It lies at the end of a long protected bay and is thought to be one of the oldest towns in Europe. The ancient parts of the town were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Because of Stari Grad's position in the middle of the Hvar island, it has been a safe haven to sailors for centuries. Stari Grad bay is still regularly visited by most people travelling by boat through middle Dalmatia. A stroll through Stari Grad's centre, characterised by narrow streets and small squares, evokes a sense of the past. The most outstanding building in Stari Grad is Tvrdalj, a large and well preserved fortified castle once belonging to the noted Croatian poet, Petar Hektorovic. Notice the Latin and Croatian inscriptions in the walls and the statue of Petar Hektorovic in front of the castle.
From the town's port, ferry services operate to Pescara, Ancona, Rijeka, Korcula, Dubrovnik and Mljet.
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.
