Lumbarda is found towards the extreme south of Croatia and is an area characterised by pinewoods and olive groves. Once a sleepy fishing town, it is now a popular tourist destination for native Croatians and tourists from all over. Tourism is now the town's largest industry and many locals have turned their homes into serviced holiday apartments in Lumbarda.

Around the town itself you will find many beautiful vineyards which specialise in the local grape variety of Grk Bijeli. This grape produces a dry, aromatic wine with hints of pine, and is a national favourite. Many holiday rentals in Lumbarda will organise day trips to vineyards where you can taste and purchase the wine if it is to your liking.

Another appeal of Lumbarda is the gorgeous sandy beaches found nearby. With only about 1200 locals in the town itself, and still not a very well-known tourist destination, the beaches do not tend to get overcrowded, even in summer. There are many holiday lettings in Lumbarda found adjacent to the beaches and you can literally step out of your serviced accommodation on to the sand.

Lumbarda also has a well recorded history and has been influenced by Greek and Roman inhabitation in the past. The most famous artifact from Lumbarda (and indeed one of the most famous in Croatian history) is the Lumbarda Psephisma - a inscribed stone detailing the founding of an ancient Greek settlement on the nearby island of Korčula. The stone is still housed in Korčula, only a short trip from your Lumbarda holiday apartment.

Being situated on the Korčula archipelago, Lumbarda is a great leaping off point for those wishing to go on scuba-diving excursions. Local companies will pick you up from your Lumbarda serviced residence and take you out for the day whether you are experienced or a beginner. The seas around this area are beautiful blue and crystal clear.

There really is no such thing as a city centre (center) apartment in Lumbarda as the town is really quite small. This is great for those who do not want to get bogged down in big-city living and are looking for a relaxing time away from home. The quiet and laid-back nature of the town is very calming and will do wonders for high blood pressure!

For those looking to visit somewhere a little off the beaten track this year or next, Lumbarda is certainly a great option. With more and more service apartments in Lumbarda springing up, make the most of this wonderful area before it becomes world-famous!
