Dubrovnik, also known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic". In its heyday, this city was one of the most powerful in this part of Europe, with a fleet that rivaled that of Genoa and Venice. The city is unique with its enormous ramparts with bastions, its staircase streets and the old center of countless monuments. The entire historic center is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. At the end of the afternoon you will go by ferry to the island of Korcula, the birthplace of the famous world traveler Marco Polo.

Relive old times. Today you walk on an old road that was built in the time of Napoleon. Via Kneže you arrive in Pupnat, this is the oldest village on the island of Korcula and is located 12 km from Korcula town. The village has been cleverly moved by settlers in the hilly part of the island so as not to be noticed by pirates.

Day 4 - 15km, 04:00u, 160 ↑↓
Today's walk will take you to the fishing village of Lumbarda. This is a village with quiet and cozy beaches and delicious wines. The Grk grape is grown around the village and is used for fine dessert wines and white wine. Most winegrowers produce enough to supply local restaurants with their wines and for their own needs. A good reason to try some of the local wines at the restaurants in Lumbarda.

Day 5 - Day off or going out
Are you taking a day off today or do you make the crossing to the mainland after breakfast? Orebic used to be the center of shipping and a favorite residence of many sea captains and ship owners. They had the most beautiful villas built that give the city a charming appearance. Just outside Orebic, on a hilltop, is the 15th-century Franciscan monastery "Gospa od Angela". The view alone, of the coast and inland of Korcula, is more than worth the hike up. The monastery's chapel church was established to protect the sailors from shipping disasters.
