From Dubrovnik, head to prettied-up Korčula, a walled town (and island of the same name) that is renowned for its medieval seaside aesthetics and laid-back style of life among the locals. Board a bus in Dubrovnik and enjoy cruising through rustic fishing villages along the Adriatic and be sure to not miss the town of Ston with its miles of medieval walls before reaching the seaside town of Orebić.
Board a boat and enjoy some time admiring the glimmering Adriatic Sea during the short trip to the island. Once there, begin a walking tour of the medieval town of Korčula, learning about its history and even seeing the town where the medieval explorer, perhaps humanity’s most famous traveler, Marco Polo supposedly lived.
Pop into St Mark’s Cathedral and don’t be surprised if you feel like you’re in a canal-less Venice. Korčula was once part of the Venetian Empire, so it’s no coincidence the two towns share a similar aesthetic.
Enjoy some free time to sip a glass of local wine or coffee at an outdoor cafe, take a dip in the sea or just continue walking the streets.
On the way back to Dubrovnik, stop at a local winery on the Peljesac peninsula to sample some vino from this up-and-coming wine region.
