Mini Camino Tour – A soulful hike

Why take a tour with Rumarinka and not take it on your own?

By embarking on our tours, you are getting the insider’s information about the island’s facts, values, culture and traditions. We speak the language of your hosts and know them privately. Every spot where we bring you is the home for us: we know it’s secrets, history and tales. The glimpse of artisan food that you will try the most probably won’t be available in the restaurants. It is likely that you would not be able to embark on these experiences on your own.

Everybody knows Korčula town so why visit the unknown villages on Western part of Korčula island?

Indeed, showy Korčula town offers the historical city walls and fortresses that you can’t see in Vela Luka or Blato located in the less touristy western part of the island. However, the central and western part of the island is where the most vineyards and olive orchards are located and where you can get an exciting glimpse of the authentic rural countryside and meet locals less dependent and interested in the commercial side of tourism.

What are Vela Luka’s attractions?

Vela Luka is one of the most inhabited spots on the Croatian Adriatica and it will lure you in with its unpretentious charm, and art-loving people. The ten kilometers long bay meets the town surrounded by some spectacular historic sites and panoramic views. Vela Luka is the home of some of the healthiest awards winning olive oil in the planet and some really cool local food and beverages producers. The town center boasts the longest mosaic in the world prepared for the Guiness book of record. Close to Vela Luka, there are two curious historic sites: unique neolithic cave Vela Spila and Hum hill with 19th century Austro-Hungarian fortress. Both sites offer stunning sights of the bay and the surrounding islands. Photos of Vela Luka, olives, figs etc.
