Of all of Croatia's beautiful islands, Korčula is perhaps the most visibly typical of the Adriatic. Significant structures range from Marco Polo's house to medieval fortifications erected to keep Turkish invaders and pirates at bay. These landmarks make Korčula a fascinating town to explore.
Board a golf cart at the pier for a scenic drive along the coastline of Korčula town. Your driver provides informative commentary about the island and its inhabitants.
At Forteca, enjoy magnificent panoramic views of the Old Town before walking along the main street. The zig-zag streets block the cold winter winds that blow in off the sea, while the herringbone layout of the side streets helps temper the heat of the midday sun with some natural 'air-conditioning.' This design was also intended to bewilder the pillagers and pirates of the Middle Ages.
Walk with your guide among the cobblestone streets of one of the most beautiful towns in Dalmatia. See the 14th to 16th-century fortifications and pass the Rector's palace with its 15th-century turrets. Watch for the house where Marco Polo is said to have been born.
Please note: Each golf cart has a dedicated English-speaking driver. The guide offers interpretive information at each stop and leads the group on the walk through Korčula. Terrain includes paved surfaces, inclines and cobblestones, with several steps. The cobblestones can be slippery. Wear sturdy non-skid walking shoes. The walking tour is optional; guests deciding not to participate can be dropped off at the tender pier. Tour operates rain or shine but may be canceled by the operator in the event of extremely bad weather or unsuitable conditions.
