Koločep – or as locals call it “Kalamota”, is the southernmost inhabited island in Croatia and usually the first stop on our way as it is the closest one to Dubrovnik. We’ll visit Blue and Green caves where you will have the opportunity to swim, snorkel and take some fantastic photos. The magnificent turquoise sea will surely mesmerize you.
Lopud – is our next stop, famous for its beautiful beaches, clear waters, stunning natural scenery and rich history that dates back to the 6th century when the island was first inhabited. Bay of Šunj is home to one of the biggest and most attractive sandy beaches on this part of the Adriatic, rest assured we will pay it a visit from the seaside and have lots of fun here.
Lopud is economically the most developed of the Elaphiti Islands, in history it was famous for prospering shipping industry and sea trade as well as shipbuilding and agriculture.
Today the islands is a popular tourist destination, also known for its traditional cuisine, fresh seafood and locally-grown fruits and vegetables, if you like to have a lunch break on the island we will be happy to assist you with restaurant booking.
If you would like to explore the island a bit more, you can have a walk around, visit some of the most popular landamarks like Dominican and Franciscan monasteries and the Gjorgjić-Mayneri park. If you don't feel like walking, let's get back on the boat, enjoy complimentary drinks and get some tan listening to your favorite songs in the background.
Šipan – is the largest of the Elaphiti islands, it is covered in olive groves, vineyards, and citrus orchards.
Šipan also has a rich history and is home to several historic buildings and monuments. The island was once a favorite summer retreat for Dubrovnik's aristocracy, and many of the old stone houses and villas on the island date back to the 15th and 16th centuries. Some of the most notable landmarks on the island include the ruins of the Gothic-Renaissance Skočibuha castle, the Church of St. Stephen, and the Church of the Holy Spirit, located in the small coastal village of Suđurađ which we will visit as the last island stop on our Elaphiti tour.
If we'll have time on our way back, we can drop anchor for another dip in the sea at some of the well secluded bays with crystal clear water your skipper will be happy to show you.
