Overview
Little Dubrovnik, minus the crowds.
Embark on a captivating private journey north along the scenic Dalmatian coast to the historic peninsula of Pelješac and the enchanting island of Korčula — reputed birthplace of the legendary explorer Marco Polo. Often referred to as "Little Dubrovnik," Korčula Town is famous for its medieval stone walls, fishbone-patterned streets, and rich maritime heritage. This full-day private excursion perfectly combines cultural discovery with natural beauty, featuring stops at the medieval stone town of Ston, a scenic boat ride across the Pelješac Channel, guided sightseeing, and boutique wine tasting in Croatia's premier red wine country.
