Elaphiti Islands
Elafitski otoci
A small island group northwest of Dubrovnik. Koločep, Lopud, and Šipan are quiet and car-free, and Lopud's Sunj Bay offers rare sandy beaches.
The Elaphiti Islands consist of more than ten islands. Three of them are inhabited: Koločep, Lopud, and Šipan. Lopud is the most popular. From the harbor, it takes about 30 minutes on foot or by electric cart across the island to Sunj Bay, a sandy beach with shallow, clear water. Šipan is the largest island and has a noble summer palace and olive groves. Koločep is the closest and suits a half-day trip. You can take a Jadrolinija ferry from Gruž port, or join a full-day “three islands” boat tour with lunch, lasting about 8 hours.
