Get ready to wrap up our epic private boat tour of the Elafiti Islands in style with a visit to the beautiful Šipan Island. It's the largest and most populated among the islands, but don't worry, we'll keep you far away from the tourist traps and into the hidden gems.

Think turquoise blue sea, lush olive and pine trees, and the sweet sound of chirping birds. Šipan is a true oasis of tranquility that'll leave you feeling like a summer goddess.

We'll start our visit in Suđurađ, a charming seaside town with not one but TWO Renaissance palaces owned by the famous Skočibuha family. The locals here are passionate about homemade goods like wine, olive oil, marmalade, fruits, and veggies - and we can set up a tasting if you're in the mood to indulge. Or, if you're feeling fancy, we can take you to a local winery for a wine, cheese, and olive oil tasting.

And don't forget; we've got one last stop before we head back - the pebble beaches of the small islet called Sikirica.
