Korčula Walking Tour in Private

The walking tour of this magnificent town starts from the hotel. The Old Town of Korčula is a masterwork of architecture and urban planning where everything is built according to a plan. The layout of the town streets reminds of a fishbone in order to take advantage of the different winds to clear the air – something like a natural air conditioning system.

Our walk will include visits to the Cathedral of St. Mark which is probably the best proof of the artistry of the famous stone masons of Korčula and the excellent stone of the island which has been used in buildings all over the world. A visit to the Bishop´s Palace reveals the hidden treasures of the town (sketches and drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Tiepolo and many others). Finally, a visit will be made to the charming Church of All Saints which contains an impressive collection of Byzantine Icons. The town of Korčula is also known as the birthplace of Marco Polo whose alleged birth house can be seen from the outside.
