and untouched coast lines in the Mediterranean.

especially aromatic and tender. It is sold at the local
markets, and served in the local restaurants with
vegetables and wine grown on the island.

eastern part of the island of Korcula. It consists of
the older part above the cove Prvi Žal and the newer
part beside the sea. East of the settlement is

soil, extremely suitable for vineyards (their famous
wine is Grk). People work in agriculture, fishing, and
stone-cutting. Lumbarda is six kilometers away from
Korcula and connected by road with all other
settlements on the island. The island has a very mild
Mediterranean climate. The mean annual
temperature is 16.8C, in the coldest month of
January it is 9.1C, in the hottest month of July
