DUBROVNIK, Croatia to Elaphiti Islands, Croatia
Distance: 9 nm
Duration: 1h 10m
A captivating cluster of evergreen islands, the Elafiti archipelago is quintessential Adriatic beauty. Nestled along the coastline just northwest of Dubrovnik, there are no less than six islands to explore, but only the three largest, Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan are inhabited. Dotted with fragrant citrus groves and centuries-old pine forests, each island is encircled by pale pebbled beaches and crystalline coves. Favoured by Dubrovnik aristocracy in years gone by, the islands are adorned with impressive stone houses, exotic gardens, and charming harbour towns. With fine fortresses and ruins of Roman villas, there’s plenty of history to be enjoyed and endless sheltered, turquoise bays flanked by rolling hills of verdant green. With a certain tropical allure to be found in the palm-lined ports, blended with far-flung abandon and sweet serenity, this assemblage of islets has it all.
