The year could not have started better in terms of promotion of Croatian tourism destinations in global media. First Mashable gushed about Split and on January 7, 2016, New York Times lists the island Korčula among 52 Places to Go in 2016.
According to New York Times, Korčula earned its place on the list because ot gives you the perfect opportunity to experience aithentic life on Dalmatian coast.
New York Times’ Katie Engelhart had this to say about our island:
Beyoncé and Jay Z called this one. The couple’s 2011 visit to Hvar Island seemed to open the tourist floodgates to Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast. Korcula is Hvar’s more modest neighbor. Much of the island is still untouched: dotted with blue-collar fishing villages and little pebble beaches. Instead of sticking to the Old Town, which claims to be the birthplace of Marco Polo, rent a moped and head west. Travel through olive groves and thick woodlands, and drive off-road to sample Korcula’s signature white wine, Grk, at any number of hopelessly charming family wineries. It’s bitter and earthy — and true to the region’s less fashionable days.
