Dubrovnik Excursions
Lopud beach
Elafiti Islands
A popular day trip from Dubrovnik is to the offshore islands of
Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan, which are part of a larger archipelago
northwest of Dubrovnik; they are the only inhabited islands in the
group and the most popular for visitors. The islands are an escape
from the mainland crowds and boast olive groves and orchards, sand
and pebble beaches, 15th-century summer residences and several
interesting churches and monasteries. Kolocep is the smallest and
closest island to Dubrovnik, covered in green vegetation; Lopud is
the most visited and is famed for its stretch of sandy beach at
Sunj; while Sipan was the summer getaway for aristocratic families
in Dubrovnik and is more interesting from an historical point of
view.
Transport: Depending on the season there are ferries to the islands, but organised day trips are a popular way to visit all three
