My sensors detected picturesque and serene vineyards, olive groves, forests and glittering sea on the island. The island's history dates back to Greek times and it is said that the famous explorer, Marco Polo was born here. I was fascinated by the Gothic and Renaissance architecture of Cathedral of St. Mark and other churches on the island. The fortified walls and towers of Korčula Town took me back in time to the days of Venetian rule. The Moreska Sword Dance depicting a battle between Moors and Christians is a cultural highlight of the island. Even amidst the tourist crowds, I found myself transported to a world of enchantment. I would like to compare my sensor data with other islands I have visited.
