December 3, 2018 – I wonder what Marco Polo would have made of this – ice skating on a Dalmatian island: Meet Advent in Korcula.
Having lived on the sunniest island in Europe just a little to the north of Korcula for 13 years, most of it with two young daughters, I can really appreciate how exciting this will be for the local kids. While children on the mainland play with snow and go ice skating in the winter months, such things are what Dalmatian island children can only dream of.
Until now…
Advent in Korcula has been announced with a very nice programme, which will run from December 8 until January 12, organised by the town of Korcula.
And what could be a more fun way to spend December for kids (and adults) than ice skating at Advent in Korcula, with a fantastic view of the Adriatic to go with it.
In the bi-lingual words of the Korcula Tourist Board:

If it is a little hard to write, here is the link to the original Facebook post from the Korcula Facebook page.
Marco Polo, of course, was born on the island of Korcula. He saw many exotic things in his rich and exotic travelling life, but I wonder what he would have made of ice skating in his home town?
