DUBROVNIK PANORAMA & SIGHTSEEING

THREE ISLANDS CRUISE
This cruise takes us to the Elaphite Islands. The Elaphite Islands seen from Dubrovnik to the north are Daksa, Kolocep, Sv. Andrija, Lopud, Ruda, Šipam, Jakljan, Tajan and Olipa. Most of these islands are very small and uninhabited. The islands Kolocep, Lopud and Šipan are the only inhabited islands so with this tour you will visit them. A short stop will be made on the island of Šipan and Koločep, followed by a trip to Lopud. During the boat ride you will be able to see ruins of former patrician summer residences that are scattered along the island’s wooded slopes. Lopud lies between the other two islands. The village of Lopud lies on northwest side of the bay and has a view of Šipan. Two hills are connected by a beautiful valley where a footpath goes through to the bay called Šunj at the other side of the island. On Lopud we will visit the 15th-century church of St Mary. You will have time for leisure on Lopud before our return voyage.

ISLAND OF KORČULA
Korčula is considered to be the birthplace of Marco Polo, and the legend has it that the town of Korčula was founded by the Trojan hero Antenor. In any case, the stormy and long history of the town has left numerous traces, visible at every step made along the streets and squares of this lovely town. We take you to Korčula by hydrofoil sailing between the Elaphite islands, or by bus across the peninsula of Pelješac, famous wine-growing area, so on the way back to Dubrovnik, a stop will be made in one of wine cellars for wine tasting.
