The island of Korcula and the peninsula of Peljesac were inhabited even in the Neolithic Age, i.e. six to eight thousand years ago. There are numerous archeological findings from that time, ranging form the first settlements, caves, tumili, and old stone buildings (gradine) to the earliest tools such as stone axes, pieces of ceramics and flint knives. The most important localities dating from that time are: Vela Spilja (Big Cave) near Vela Luka, Gudnja and Spila on Peljesac, and Jakasova spilja (Jakas\'s Cave) near Zrnovo. There are also numerous tumuli and stone buildings, the earliest types of fortified settlements, using natural unworked stone; they are most often situated on peaks and hills, providing a good view and difficult access for the possible invader. It would appear that the whole territory of Korcula and Peljesac was parceled out according to zones of interest.

Even today the inquisitive visitor can find numerous fragments of ceramic products at various localities which are often called old town. These are the last remnants of the pre history of this region. The most important gradine are near Smokvica, Vela Luka, Zrnovo, Pupnat, Donje Blato and Potirna on the island of Korcula, and Grad near Nakovanj, Gradac, Humac, Gradina, Crkovna Glava and Velike Stine on the peninsula of Peljesac.

The first known inhabitants of these settlements in the Korcula and Peljesac region were Illyrians, as they were later called by the Greeks and Romans.

On Tuesday we made another stop in Croatia; this time at Korcula. We didn’t book a tour, but rather went over on the tender and just wandered around the town. For a country that was at war less than 15 years ago, Croatia has recovered very nicely, although we did see many bombed-out buildings on Monday. But the streets are clean and the people are really warm and welcoming and it is not yet overrun with tourists. We really enjoyed both cities in Croatia

Waking up at 5:30 AM to change my catamaran ticket, after one hour of sleep, I found that the foam party had soaked by ticket, and it was worthless.  I went back to sleep for a few hours, grabbed some breakfast, and went with some of my new friends in search of the island's sandy beach.We found a beach, but it was small and crowded, so we decided to chill on a pier that was just down the shoreline a bit.  We sunned, swam to a nearby island, and had a relaxing day of it.  Just as I was gett...
