Overview
Enjoy a private, exclusive tour with your own local guide. Step into a storybook setting as you wander through Korčula’s Old Town, a beautifully preserved medieval settlement. Beginning at the spacious Plokata Square, step towards the fortified Land Gate to enter the Old Town. Why were the streets designed in a fishbone pattern? Through narrow alleys and hidden courtyards, the defensive Veliki Revelin Tower rises as a reminder of Venetian power. At St. Mark’s Square, history unfolds beside the cathedral’s ornate façade. Stories of merchants and sailors echo through the stone. Was Marco Polo truly born here, or is it a legend shaped by time? The walk concludes along the old town walls, with sweeping Adriatic views. Discover why Korčula was once a strategic maritime stronghold, on this fascinating tour of this ancient city.
