Private Boat Tour from Split to Korčula – Visit Marco Polo’s Island

Korčula is one of the most rewarding destinations to visit on a private boat tour from Split.

It is one of those places that feels instantly Mediterranean — sun-warmed stone streets, crystal-clear coves, and vineyards rolling gently toward the sea.

Often called “Little Dubrovnik” thanks to its impressive medieval Old Town and Venetian architecture, Korčula combines history, charm, and island lifestyle in perfect balance. (And yes — if you’re a Game of Thrones fan, you already know how magical Dalmatian towns can look.)

Slow down and enjoy the moment, whether you like to visit historic sites or just walk through narrow streets with stone houses and small cafés.

There are a lot of things to do here. The island has something for everyone, from windsurfing and biking to swimming in quiet bays. The house where Marco Polo is thought to have been born is one of the most interesting parts of it. Historians don’t all agree on the details, but part of the house is open to visitors who want to learn more about the famous explorer.

And of course, you have to try some Southern Dalmatian food before you leave. The island’s award-winning wines, especially the famous white ones grown in nearby vineyards, go great with fresh seafood that has been caught and cooked the old-fashioned way.
