Overview
THIS IS A PRIVATE WALKING TOUR
You will be met at the port by a Venture Ashore representative who will then escort you on this private walking tour of Korcula.
Korcula is perhaps the most visibly town with history - from the house which islanders believe Marco Polo was born to medieval fortifications erected to keep the Turkish invaders and pirates at bay. These landmarks make the largest settlement on the island, also named Korcula a fascinating town to explore.
The main street of Korcula zig zags through the town, the side streets feeding on to it at an angle - none of the zig zags are by accident - the zig zagging blocks the cold winter winds that blow in off the sea while a layout of the streets tempers the heat of the midday sun.
A tour of the town weaves in and out of the stone-paved streets of one of the most beautiful towns in Dalmatia. The tour spans centuries and myriad art forms - starting with the 14th-16th century fortifications, taking you by the Rectors Palace with its 15th-century turrets, into the City Museum housed in a 16th Century Mansion and filled with an impressive array of artifacts and Byzantine icons that bring alive Korcula's history.
