Hello adventurers! If You plan to visit Dubrovnik you are probably thinking about going to Elaphites Islands. Here is a short guide by locals, about the three best places to visit on Elaphites Islands, a hidden gem near Dubrovnik. What can you see with the boat tour that promises not just a getaway but an unforgettable tour through the archipelago of the Adriatic known as three island cruise to Kolocep, Lopud, and Sipan. It would take weeks to explore everything, so we pointed out the three best places to visit at the Elaphites Islands day tour from Dubrovnik suggested by the locals.
1. Kolocep Island- Hidden Coves and Crystal Caves
We call it the home of our beautiful one and only Blue Cave Dubrovnik. Prepare to be captivated by Kolocep's natural wonders. The most beautiful spots are those from the Western side and are accessible only by boat. To explore the hidden bays along its coastline, perfect for a refreshing swim or a tranquil sunbathing session you needto have a local guide. A must-visit is the Green Cave, where the sunlight reflects on the water, creating a magical play of colors. Kolocep is a paradise for nature lovers and those seeking serenity.
2. Lopud Island - Sunj Sandy BeachÂ
Imagine the island without cars, yes that's Lopud! We could write a lot about Lopud, an eco-friendly island(we respect it!), known for its sandy shores, gigantic palms, an old monastery, and the botanical garden. As we previously mentioned, the only sandy beach near Dubrovnik is Sunj Beach, a heaven of sun-kissed relaxation.Ranked as top 20 best beaches in the world (19th place by the Guardian), this is a beach to enjoy. Lounge on the warm sands, take a dip in the turquoise waters, or indulge in beachside refreshments. Sunj Beach is the epitome of laid-back luxury, offering the perfect blend of leisure and natural beauty. We suggest booking your spots on the beach on time :)
3. Sipan Island - Historical Marvels at Sudurad
The biggest of them all - Sipan Island. Also famous as the island with the biggest number of olive trees per square meter in the world. So if You want to try some locally-made olive oil, and Croatia is know for the best olives oils in the world, that is the place to be. Step back in time as you explore Sudurad on Sipan Island. This charming fishing village is a historical treasure, where you can still see some fishermen catching fish, and with its well-preserved medieval architecture. Wander through narrow cobblestone streets, visit the Sipan Castle, and soak in the sun. Sudurad is a delightful blend of history and tranquility. If You want to visit Sipan we recommend booking a private day boat tour to Elaphites Islands and Blue Cave.
