LUMBARDA, a village and harbor in the easternmost part of the
island of Korcula, between the coves of Przina and Bili Zal, 6
km southeast of the town of Korcula.
East of the village is the Lumbarda field, consisting of reddish
and yellowish soils (Pleistocene sand), which offer excellent
conditions for viticulture (famous wine Grk). Economy is based
on farming, fishing, processing of stone and tourism. Underwater
fishing is possible from Bili Zal to Vrbovica. Lumbarda is
located on the regional road, which connects Lumbarda with the
town of Korcula. |

A picturesque place in the easternmost part of the island of
Korcula, with typical family houses (citadels), nice sand
beaches and numerous islets and coves, has a long tradition in
adventurous "Robinson-style" tourism. Apart from quality
accommodation facilities and sports and recreational
opportunities, another major attractive characteristics is the
beautiful natural environment of Lumbarda. |
| |
|
From its very centre, the way leads through an alley of
mulberry-trees to beautiful vineyards on fine reddish sandy
soil. Such sand is an ideal type of soil for the cultivation of
vines. Lumbarda is the cradle of Grk, a sort of vine which some
experts consider the autochthonous Dalmatian, while the other,
due to its name, conclude that it must have originated from
Greece, from where it came in ancient times. An enormously rich
gastronomic offer (prosciutto, fresh and salted fish) includes
fruit and vegetables grown in local gardens. |
|
|
|
Folk songs, customs and dances have been cherished for ages. An
important event during the carnival is the "picking of oranges",
when the entire village, with dances and songs, pays tribute to
local beauties and to the head of the village. Another
interesting feast is St. Roch's Day (Rocco's Day) on the 16th of
August. Occasional entertainment and cultural programs are
organized during the tourist season. |
