Korcula Explorer

Running small authentic group wine and local produce tasting tours on Korcula Island. We made the island our new home in 2010 when we moved here from the UK.

We (John & Rachael) founded Korcula Explorer to share our love of the beautiful Croatian Island of Korcula. We developed a travel company that now specialises in wine, beer & food tasting tours which provide a fully immersive experience. We also work with local partners and drivers on the island who offer fun tours and professional transfer services. Receive the best insider tips & practical advice:

Do you know this tree?

In English it is called the 'Strawberry Tree'. Sadly, the fruit doesn't taste anything like strawberries, but at least the wildlife enjoys eating it!

They are beautiful with their bold colours and are currently dotting the island's landscape.

A little view over the village of Zrnovo.

As much as I enjoy being by the sea, I also love the countryside and the inland villages on Korcula.

If you plan on visiting the island make sure you take a trip away from the coastline. There's even more to explore.

We're still enjoying this perfect weather for outdoor pursuits!

A fairly easy and delightful walk to the Nature Park, Kocje, in Zrnovo. You can turn this into a loop walk around the village. Love it here. It is so peaceful, with incredible nature.

Celebrating the end of the season not with wine but with a cocktail!

Cheers to another epic summer of tours - lots of laughs, memories and wine!🤣 Let's start the countdown to 2025 tours...! Who will be joining us?

26/10/2024

Summer may be behind us, but with this wonderful October sun, it's the perfect time to explore the Island and nearby Peljesac peninsula by foot and bike.

Here are a few photos from our walk above Orebic passing the Monastery and Church of Our Lady of the Angels, circling through the little hamlets. Just love the views around here.

The lovely sights of Autumn on Korcula Island....ripe olives and the commencement of the olive harvest, ripening pomegranates and mandarins and crispy colourful leaves in the vineyards.

What's your favourite part of Autumn?

22/10/2024

Here are a few snaps from our short trip to Mlini and Srebreno, located close to Dubrovnik.

It is a lovely little bay. Very quiet, very clean, and there are several restaurants and bars within walking distance.

If you're planning a trip to Dubrovnik, but want to escape the crowds and bustle, I'd recommend looking to stay here and then taking a water taxi, bus or Uber into the centre.

05/10/2024

I realise I share a lot of sunset photos...but I can't get enough of them! So here's another one.

Not a bad view, huh?

03/10/2024

Awesome blue views from Lumbarda!

01/10/2024

Well hello, October!

We're into the final weeks of our wine & local produce tasting tours. What an incredible few months it's been.

Here we are busy tasting delicious homemade jams and deciding which one is our favourite! Not an easy decision to make!

28/09/2024

Exploring the streets of Korcula Old Town. There's always a little bar or souvenir shop to pop into!

Have you visited the Old Town of Korcula? Any highlights or recommendations of a place you visited or something you did that you'd like to share? Feel free to leave in the comments.

Another fabulous day trip idea from Korcula Island.

Head to Vela Luka and take the small ferry boats to Proizd island. A heavenly spot to enjoy the sea! Have you visited?

24/09/2024

Sunny, wine memories from a summer tour!

Our tours are soon coming to a close. We'll wrap up mid-October, so just a couple of weeks left for you to join us on a tour. Or will you be joining us in 2025?

21/09/2024

Yacht and sunset watching in Korcula Town!

I do that thing when a beautiful yacht is here, I google it and find out how much I could charter it for the week! A lovely dream for now! 🤣 Has anyone else done the same?

19/09/2024

Looking for a day trip idea from Korcula? Take the local ferry from the town across the channel to Orebic. Orebic is a lovely coastal town with lots of places to swim and stop for a drink.

Have you visited Orebic? What did you think? Or are you planning on visiting?

17/09/2024

An essential word in Croatian...živjeli. Cheers! And we certainly živjeli a lot on our tours!

Did you visit Croatia this year - and did you learn any Croatian? Or have you planned a trip here and are practising some of the lingo?

14/09/2024

Something you may not know about Croatia (if you haven't visited) is that the majority of beaches are rocky or pebble. There aren't many sandy beaches.

On Korcula Island, there are a few sandy beaches - the most well-known in Lumbarda. I tend to avoid the sandy beaches during the peak summer months as it's hot and busy! But September is the perfect time (for me) to visit. Here is a recent photo from sunset time on Przina Beach.

How about you - do you prefer sand or pebbles on the beach?

12/09/2024

A few photos from our last month's trip to Lastovo Island. We hadn't been for nearly 10 years and it was wonderful to return!

You can get to Lastovo from Korcula Town by catamaran or by car ferry from Vela Luka. It's a great island to chill out on and enjoy the sea and nature.

Have you visited Lastovo, or any plans to?

As we wrap up our incredible summer, here's a glimpse of some of the delicious food we enjoyed on Korcula and in Orebic. It seems we ate a lot of food!! We enjoyed visiting some of our favourite places and trying some new ones...we ran out of time to visit everywhere we wanted to, so we're counting down to 2024 for more epic food adventures! We'll add all our restaurant and food recommendations to our Korcula Guide which will be updated for 2024 and ready to purchase via our website soon.

Burn baby burn! Here the wonderful meat peka is being prepared. This is a very famous dish in Croatia (and very delicious)! Tell us where you live BUT by only naming a food...

Cicada..the sound of summer!

The sound of summer...cicadas! They are deafening at the moment. You are always hear them but rarely see them, but we spotted this noisy little fellow! Post summer it seems so quiet without them!

Who fancies chilling here with us? Just boat tripping around Korcula!

Chilling out on our boat trip and wine tasting tour! Travelling by 🛥️ it's one of the best ways to enjoy the island. So make sure you get on the sea if visiting the island! What's your Sunday plans?
