Sipan Island (pronounced shee-pan) is the largest of the Elaphiti Islands at 16.5sq km. The main port is Sudurad which is connected by road to Sipanska Luka, the other major town. In between is a verdant landscape of olive and fig trees, vineyards and citrus groves. Sipan is famous for its wine.

    Sipan Island is historically interesting. During the 15th century it was a chic summer getaway for the very best Dubrovnik families, many of whom built palaces on the island. There's also a late-Gothic Rector's Palace and ruins of archbishop's palaces.

     Sipan's beaches are less exalted than on Lopud but you'll have no trouble finding a pleasant place to leap into the clear sea.

     There are regular boat connections to Sipan from Dubrovnik that take about one hour.
