Elafiti Islands
A popular excursion from Dubrovnik is a day trip 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.
