After breakfast you will have a transfer to Gruz port to catch a boat across to Lopud Island, a crossing of just under an hour.
Nowadays Lopud is a charming and relatively quiet place with good beaches and without cars or traffic, home to a permanent population of under 300 people. In the past however, Lopud was a very important port, with great strategic importance - in the 17th century it is said to have had a population of 14,000 people, mostly involved in seafaring.
Formally part of the Republic of Dubrovnik, from the 18th to the early 20th centuries, the French, English and Austrians took turns controlling this strategically located little island. Nowadays there are reminders of the island's more momentous maritime past with the atmospheric ruins of a fortress and palace, churches dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries and a restored Franciscan monastery.
You will have the day to walk around the island and enjoy its beaches before returning to Dubrovnik in the afternoon.
Hotel (example): Hotel Perla
In the morning a transfer is arranged to Dubrovnik harbour, from where you take the ferry to the largest of the Elafiti islands, Šipan. The ferry docks at the town of Sudjuradj, and from there you'll head to another small town, Šipanska Luka.
The road from Sudjuradj to Šipanska Luka passes through a landscape of lush fields. In the 15th century, several of Dubrovnik's aristocratic families built summer residences on Šipan, and the Sorkocevic family residence in Šipanska Luka is particularly worth a visit. In Šipanska Luka you can also taste the local cuisine and have a swim or just enjoy the beautiful sea view. In the late afternoon, you will return to the port of Sudjuradj, where the ferry will take you back to Dubrovnik. Overnight in Dubrovnik.
