Retro Thursday
Lumbarda is a small fishermen’s village of around 1200 inhabitants. It is situated at the eastern part of Island of Korcula, about 5 kilometres from Korcula Old Town.
Since the 16th-century prosperous Korčula Town landowners built their summer houses called “kaštel” (pronounced ‘kashtel‘) on the best sites around the fields, some of them still well preserved and inhabited by local families.
Fine sandy beaches (very rare in the Adriatic) surround this lovely area.
