Lumbarda - a small fishing village, which is home to about 1,200 people. It is located in the east of the island of Korcula, about five kilometers from the old town of Korcula. The village is built around a small bay and on the hills behind it, and is surrounded by a large number of vineyards. The road to Lumbarda passes through picturesque pine forests and olive groves.
The Greek settlement was formed here in the third century BC; finds from this period can be seen in the city museum of Korcula. North-east of Lumbarda near the beach Bilin Hall was a Roman villa. Since the 16th century prosperous Korcula landowners built summer houses here. They were located on the best plots of land around Lumbarda, some of them are still in good condition and inhabited.
