Morning light spills over a tight harbor and the sea breathes coolly against the quay as you step off the boat and onto Korčula’s quieter lanes. Olive groves slope toward stone terraces; cypress and laurel lean into the wind that has shaped the island for millennia. The guide leads a small group away from the postcard Old Town into agricultural plots where rosemary scents the air and the terrain opens to views of the Pelješac Channel.
