Discover the spells of the island of Korčula, one of the most beautiful islands in the Adriatic. Originally called Korkyra Melaina ( Black Korčula), it dates from the times of ancient Greeks. From its early beginnings it was the home of wine grape and wine production which have become an essential part of life and survival of inhabitants of Korčula. The Statute from 1214 ( the oldest written body of laws in this part of Europe) regulated wine growing, production and trade on the island. Korčulan wines were exported to Venice and they were regularly served on the Habsburg Court. Our excursion starts at the view point of Korčula, where you can take a couple of photos. The first vinyards we are going to visit are situated in Lumbarda and are famous for Grk, an autochtonous wine sort.. It is not known whether the name derives from the bitter taste or the old Greeks who settled Lumbarda in the fourth and the third century before Christ bringing their own wine sort. ......

You'll also hear about Marco Polo and his complicated and intriguing connection with Korčula. I am a licenced tourist guide, born and raised in Korčula. I love art and history, so I guide about what I love. You'll also hear a few childhood memories of mine. Welcome to Korčula :-)

First destination we head to is an abandoned stone village Dub, a place frozen in time. Less than 50 years ago village was still inhabited but with changes in the local way of life, today it stands completely abandoned. Just after we leave the village a panoramic view of Korčula's southern coast opens up, with plenty of little islets scattered along the coast. We descend towards a secluded pebble beach where you can enjoy a swim. From there the longest uphill of the day awaits - we ascend to top of Hum, the highest peak of western part of the island. With it's prominence and all-around view it is a beautiful lookout spot, overlooking the southern Adriatic sea. With such characteristics, it's not surprising that Habsburg empire built a fortress on top of the hill. From the fortress we descend towards the bay of Vela Luka and Pičena cove, where you can enjoy the sea, go for a paddle with a kayak or sit for a dinner just a few meters from the sea.

Deep bay of Vela Luka has pretty much determined the history of the town as well – fishing, shipbuilding, and seafaring were always part of living here. Prehistoric site of Vela Spila, thousands years old anchorage at Gradina bay, picturesque coves and chapels along the coastal trail – they all reveal us the details of a long and rich history of living by the sea and with the sea. The distance we will cover is about 13 kilometers, with 340 meters of altitude gain (about 8 miles and 1100 feet of elevation gain) which usually takes about 4 hours.

Above Vela Luka, about an hour and a half walk from center of the town, you will find the highest peak of west part of Korčula island. On the top of the hill, overlooking the south Adriatic sea and more than thirty island is a fortress built by Habsburg empire. After exploring and finding out more about the fort, we descend to Pičena cove and walk along the coast of Vela Luka bay back to our starting point. It is possible to arrange for dinner/lunch at a restaurant in Pičena cove where you can also enjoy a swim or a short kayak tour. From the bay it is possible to get transfers back to town, either by a car or a boat. The distance we will cover is about 10 kilometers, with 450 meters of altitude gain (about 6 miles and 1500 feet of elevation gain) which usually takes about 3 hours.

Grk is an autochthonous Croatian grape sort out of which white wine of the same name is produced. It is grown mainly on the central Lumbardan field on the area of some 40 hectares. Sandy soil contributes to its quality. Grk is a female wine sort so it is always planted with the male "Plavac" to enable pollination. It is not known whether the name derives from the bitter taste or the old Greeks who settled Lumbarda in the fourth and the third century before Christ bringing their own wine sort. We will take you through Lumbardan vineyards making a couple of stops at interesting viewpoints and winey where you will have the chance to try Grk. It is golden with a special nuance of green. Trust me, this is a unique opportunity to try the wine you can hardly get anywhere else!

Starting from the center of Vela Luka we'll pass thru the old part of town and quickly enter pine forest's pleasant shade. On the southern slopes of Pinski rat hill, overlooking the town and the bay of Vela Luka, we will find one of the most important prehistoric archeaological sites in Europe. Layers of findings in Vela Spila cave reveal details covering a period of over 25 000 years of human inhabitance. Pots, tools, artistry, animal bones and burial grounds offer insight into changes in human lives during climate and geological turmoils that marked the end of Ice Age. The distance we will cover is about 3.5 kilometers, with 150 meters of altitude gain (about 2.2 miles and 500 feet of elevation gain) which usually takes a little bit over an hour.
