November 15, 2018 – There cannot be many businesses which start on Dalmatian islands like Korcula, then expand to exclusive locations like Verbier in Switzerland.
Marco Polo may have been born on Korcula and gone travelling to exotic places, but he is not the only one to have moved from that gorgeous Dalmatian island with a tale of spice.
Another Silk Road is slowly being constructed, this time starting in Korcula Town, as the popular Asian street food restaurant, Silk, is set to open its third location, this time in exotic Verbier in Switzerland.
Silk, which takes its name from the famous Marco Polo route, first opened close to the house of the famous explorer’s birth, in Korcula Town, before expanding to Split this summer, where it has been a popular addition to the Dalmatian capital’s gourmet scene with locals, tourists and the growing expat community. Take a short video tour os Silk in Split below.
Silk is owned by the couple who have created one of Dalmatia’s true hospitality gems, Tara’s Lodge, which is located in Zrnovska Banja, just north of Korcula Town. They also have a base in Switzerland, which explains the choice of their third location.

It is always nice to see a business thrive and grow and expand beyond Croatia’s borders. Good luck to the Silk team, and feel free to open the next outlet in Varazdin…
