The imposing St Mark’s Cathedral is worth a visit, as is the St Mark’s Abbey Treasury, which has now been turned into a museum.

The outskirts of town are dotted with beautiful olive groves, vineyards, and local villages. Korčula’s islanders have zealously held on to their traditional culture, regaling travelers to its Adriatic shores with folk performances. This island region produces delicious local wines, especially Croatian white wines, which go wonderfully well with the region’s fresh seafood.

What Our Guests Say

This was the second trip we worked with enchanting travel. The ability to customize our trip, and get advice on tours and activities was very helpful in making our trip unique and personalized. We will definitely be using calling Enchanting Travels for our next vacation.

John Michael Hubbell

We would highly recommend Enchanting Travels to anyone interested in having a carefree, wonderful adventure abroad. We have used their services in several countries and have always had terrific travels. Although we haven’t decided where we would like to travel next, we will definitely contact them when we’re ready to start planning!

Linda Ann Pickard

USA

After multiple trips to Europe that we planned ourselves, this year’s trip to Slovenia and Croatia was the second we have arranged through Enchanting. We elected to visit these countries after conversation with Taylor McKinley, our two-time trip coordinator, who had personal experience traveling to these countries. The itinerary allowed us to have a great introduction to these intriguing countries, their people, and particularly their 20th century history. And we thoroughly enjoyed the excellent Slovenian and Croatian food and wine along the way!

Karen Richardson

USA

We look forward to planning future vacations with Enchanting Travels! We felt that our whole process was so thoroughly designed and organized! I came to the table with many fragments of ideas, and Enchanting Travels listened carefully, and presented a trip itinerary that absolutely exceeded our expectations! Having a consistent trip coordinator, to call during our stays, if needed, was also such a comfort. This was our first time to Croatia, and we feel like we came away understanding the beauty and culture of this special country, through our customized and varied excursions, and the incredible staff, guides and hotel accommodations we experienced along the way. Thank you!!

David Meyers

I cannot recommend Enchanting Travels enough. They have made it hard to travel any other way. Everything is effortless which is how a vacation should be.

Mary Retzbach

USA

I cannot speak highly enough of Nurit Hod and her wonderful ways! Nurit has gotten to know us as people and as travelers. She really cares about the people with whom she works and this positivity and happiness comes through in all that she does. Nurit curated an incredible trip for us to Croatia where she knew the perfect cadence for schedule of travel. She gave us lots of wonderful options for hotels- putting together larger resorts (which we love!) along with incredible and one-of-a-kind boutique hotel experiences. Nurit picked wonderful activities for us to do and everything went off perfectly. Divya Bust orchestrated everything so well behind the scenes. Divya had everything pre-planned and made me aware of all of the plans and all of the details. Divya was available throughout the trip at a moment’s notice by text and ensured that everything was checked and double-checked so that it all went seamlessly. For these reasons were able to have the most incredible trip that felt like paradise without any stress, knowing that everything had been thought out and taken care of for us. This was the most memorable trip to Croatia that we will never forget and I have everyone at Enchanting Travels to thank for this!
