Stop 3

Of the three main Elafiti islands (along with Lopud and Sipan), Kolocep is the closest to Dubrovnik and the mainland. The two main villages on the island are Gornje (Upper) Celo and Donje (Lower) Celo. The island is also the smallest and has a population of around 250 people. As the smallest of the islands, Kolocep must be considered as providing the ultimate tranquility! Natural and historical stops with amazing caves will definitely attract you. So peaceful island seems like time has stopped once you are there. Car-free (of course), it’s a great place for relaxation and taking leisurely walks on the paths that criss-cross the island through its pine forests. There are also a number of interesting churches on the island, some of which stem from as back as the 9th century. These include the Church of St Sergius, with the Church of St Nicholas and the Church of the Holy Trinity from the 11th and 12th centuries.

Guests voted shallow sandy beach Šunj to be one of the best beaches on the Dalmatian coast year after year. This natural sandy beach is famous for its shallow crystal clear waters. It’s perfect for kids and anyone who wants to enjoy a day of relaxation. For those who want to lie down in a hammock, read a book, and listen to the crickets, there’s a restaurant set in the woods only a few meters from the beach. Šunj beach is the best know sandy beach on Lopud, quite often referred to as the only sand beach in Dubrovnik area.
