    Korčula Island & Winery

    In the morning, after breakfast, you’ll head to the beautiful island of Korčula, famous for its excellent wine and olive oil and rich history dating from ancient times. The trip includes transportation by car and a 15- minute ferry ride. The biggest town on Korčula island bears the same name and is another beautiful historical town surrounded by towers and walls. Building outside the town’s walls was forbidden until the 18th century, so Korčula is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the Mediterranean, looking like a fortified city from afar. After a walking tour of the town with a local guide, you will hop on a bike to explore the interior of the island, with a stop in a famous local winery for wine tasting and lunch. Korčula is especially known for its superb white wines – Pošip and Grk. Return to the hotel in the afternoon and after some rest there is a funicular ride to Srđ hill to enjoy a sunset dinner, overlooking the entire city and the beautiful Elafiti Islands.

    Private Boat Tour Elafiti Islands

    The Elafiti Islands are the closest islands to Dubrovnik, characterized by small fishing villages that perfectly depict the Mediterranean way of life. They are an ideal destination for a relaxing boat trip and to enjoy the day at sea.

The peak of the day will be a stop at an isolated idyllic bay Vrbova on the island of Šipan to enjoy the perfect food and atmosphere in BOWA restaurant for lunch. In the late afternoon after some rest enjoy a private tour of Dubrovnik - “Pearl of the Adriatic”. Irish author George Bernard Shaw wrote: “Those who seek paradise on Earth must come to Dubrovnik.” The Old Town is protected by city walls, fortresses, and bastions.. A walk along the ramparts reveals a view of the enchanting Elafiti Islands. But Dubrovnik is not just one of the most beautiful European historical towns, it is also famous as the King’s Landing – its narrow streets and walls have been the main filming location for the famous fictional city from The Game of Thrones series. If you are a fan of the series, your guide will show you all the main filming locations in the town.
