Korčula is the long thin Adriatic island west of Dubrovnik — best known for its walled-medieval old town (locals will tell you Marco Polo was born there; historians disagree) and as the home of Plavac Mali, the indigenous red grape that produces Dingač and Postup wines. Korčula Town is the main base for nomads; Lumbarda (5km east, the white-wine village) is the quieter alternative; Vela Luka on the west end is the working-port edge. Ferry connections to Dubrovnik (2.5h), Split (3h), and Hvar (1h) keep the island connected without the airport crush. Croatia joined Schengen in 2023; the DNV (one of the EU's earliest) is the longer-term route — EUR 2,800/mo income, 1 year non-renewable but easy re-entry.
