Tour Korcula

Korčula is a wonderful place to visit! History, art and present day life tell the story of a town sculpted in white stone 1000 years ago. You'll also hear about Marco Polo and his complicated and intriguing connection with Korčula. I am a licenced tourist guide, born and raised in Korčula. I love art and history, so I guide about what I love. You'll also hear a few childhood memories of mine. Welcome to Korčula 🙂

There’s something so magical about cruising around the archipelago, swimming, snorkeling and relaxing on the sea surrounded by natural beauty, before being served a dalmatian platter and my own home-made wine. I will be your driver and guide.

Discover the charming island of Korcula, one of the most beautiful islands of the Adriatic, whose name Korkyra Melaina/Black Korcula dates back to the ancient Greeks. With our panoramic vehicle, we will pass through the hot spots (viewpoint Korcula, hamlets in the interior of the island). A smaller, scenic road leads us to a viewpoint above Pupnatska luka, without a doubt the most beautiful bay on the entire island. View the fields and vineyards of the autochthonous cultivars of Korčulan grapes. After visiting two family-owned wineries on Korcula island, we arrive at our winery ‘Adria’ where we will taste not only wine but also the best of island’s liquors, olive oil, jams, and homemade sweets. *In case of bad weather or unforseen circumstances instead of panoramic minibus we will use electrical Opel minivan (first electrical minivan sold in Croatia)

This tour is a mix of walking in the countryside and a morning routine in a little Mediterranean town. We will enjoy the views of Korčula from east and west and walk in nature where scents and sounds tell the story of an island named after its forests. On our route we will stop at a few places hidden from the usual tourist paths and you'll hear about local culture, history and customs. In fact, you 'll be one of 1% percent of visitors who will have seen some of them. A short visit to the fish and green market will give you a better idea about what we locals eat. Towards the end of the tour, we will buy a few home- made traditional cookies and have a cup of coffee at my favorite café. Having time to enjoy a cup of coffee with friends every day is a privilege of life in a small town. And I love meeting new people, so I am looking for a chance to have a cup of coffee and a little chat. At the end, you will be ready for the day ahead, energised and relaxed. Welcome to Korčula 🙂
