Marco was 15 years old when his father returned after years of trading in Asia. He was surprised and mystified at the strange tales from the Far East. He jumped with joy when he came to know that he would join his father and uncle on their next journey. They began their journey in the summer of 1271. Marco was unaware of the fact that he will be returning only after 24 years of exploration of the East. As they sailed off, the homesick face of Marco can be visualized even now as he was closely attached with his family. Moving along the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea – which was the route often taken by the Venetian merchants.

Marco stopped at Kurzola to meet some of his relatives. As they progressed, the abominable tales told by travelers turned to be a fallacy. The pirates, mermaids, strange sea-monsters and angels; everything that Marco dreamt of never appeared. He was getting used to the atmosphere at sea. Their next halt was at Acra, a Palestinian city where Marco was amazed looking at the palaces and the protecting wall of the city. He saw the riches and the posh lifestyle of the people at Acra. He came across the well-dressed warriors and knights, thus fulfilling his long staying wish.
