Elafiti (Elaphiti) Islands

A visit to the Elafiti (or Elaphiti) islands could be the high point of your visit to Dubrovnik. The terrain is forested and hilly and the little villages retain the relaxed slowness of traditional Adriatic life. There are 13 islands in this archipelago northwest of Dubrovnik but only three Elaphiti islands are inhabited:

• Kolocep (pronounced Kolo-chep),
• Lopud and
• Sipan (pronounced Shee-pan).

Accommodation in the Elaphiti Islands

Or perhaps a day trip to the Elafiti islands isn't enough? You'd like to stay on one of the Elaphiti Islands? Each of the Big Three Islands--Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan--has at least one hotel and some private accommodation at prices that are slightly cheaper than staying in Dubrovnik.

Getting to the Elaphiti Islands

Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan are well-linked by boat to Dubrovnik. There are several Jadrolinija ferries each way every day at hours that make each island a convenient day trip or alternative place to stay. In addition, the Nona Ana fast passenger boat runs from Dubrovnik to the Elaphiti islands frequently in the summer. The schedules make it difficult or impossible to visit Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan in one day however. To see the most of the three major Elaphiti Islands you should consider taking an day cruise to the Elafiti Islands that allows you to visit all three. Find out more.
