Elafiti Islands is the archipelago of thirteen islands streching northwest off Dubrovnik. The name of Elafiti Islands comes from the Greek word elafos, meaning a deer. Out of thirteen islands only three are inhabited:
Island of Koločep – a green island with centuries’ old woods of pine and carob, olive groves and gardens filled with oranges and lemons, with beautiful beaches and a large fragrant park is one of the most beloved excursion destinations from Dubrovnik. Two settlements, Donje Celo and Gornje Celo, one on the east coast and the other on the west, are connected by a windy road through olive groves and gardens. Many remnants of old architecture have been preserved, and are dispersed throughout the island (an old pre-Romantic chapel, ruins of the basilica, summer homes, guard tower and more). In the Chapel of St. Anton is the polyptych of Ivan Ugrinovic (15th century), one of the best works among the Dubrovnik painters. The beautiful landscape of the artist has enthralled and attracted many a painter.
Island of Lopud – an island of lush Mediterranean and subtropical vegetation, beautiful gardens, parks and beaches, Lopud is one of the most developed islands for tourism in the Dubrovnik region. In the past, it was an island of captains, which provided the most sailors for the navy of the Dubrovnik Republic. Also from Lopud was the famed sailor and ship owner Miho Pracat. According to the Dubrovnik historian Razzi, Lopud had 30 churches in the 16th century, as well as numerous summer residences, several monasteries and many more inhabitants than today. Visible on the island are the ruins of early medieval churches, summer residences and fortresses. The Franciscan monastery from 1483 with its cloister, defensive towers and walls and its Church of St. Mary of Splica holds much valuable art: the polyptych of Pietro de Giovanni, the triptych from the workshop of Nikola Bozidarevic, the polyptych of Girolan da Santacroce, paintings by the Flemish master Bassan and more. The Church of Our Lady of Sunjaiz from the 15th century is a valuable cultural monument and contains paintings by Palma the elder, Natalino da Murano, Mateja Juncic and others. On the southern side of the island is located the bay Sunj and one of the most beautiful sandy beaches on the Adriatic. You can take a 20 minutes long walk or take a golf cart drive to get to the beach.
Island of Šipan – The largest island in the Elaphite archipelago, with its quiet bays, beaches, cypress trees, groves of orange and lemon trees, full of old structures (churches, summer residences of the landowners and plebeians) dispersed throughout the forested slopes, with a long history interwoven with many stories and legends, is one of the pearls of the Dubrovnik region. Two settlements, Sudurad on the eastern and the Port of Sipan on the western part of the island receive numerous tourists in their beautiful homes.
