This experience skips the usual visit to Korčula Old Town and instead invites you to explore the island’s rich agricultural heritage—what the locals have grown on their land throughout the centuries and how they’ve made a living, right up to today. It’s a heritage tour full of discovery, with plenty of walking through the charming parts of Korčula town.
