Our Story

After years of hands-on tourism work, Sunčana and Žarko Žaknić founded their own company to deliver a more personal and dependable service model. The goal was clear: quality over volume, trust over promises, and practical organization that guests can rely on.

Over time, the company expanded from classic travel services into modular products like Authentic Korcula, where guests can build their own route using history, farm tasting, and winery modules.

In 2025 the second generation joined the business full-time, strengthening guiding and maritime capacity while preserving the family-first approach.

Core Positioning

Licensed local team with operational depth in guiding, transfers, and travel coordination.

Values
