Kolocep Attractions

The Island of Kolocep, part of the Elaphiti Islands, is the closest island in this archipelago to Dubrovnik, and also the smallest. It is home to a population of less than 200 inhabitants, most of who live either in the village of Donje Uelo or Gornji Uelo. Motor boats provide service to the island from Dubrovnik, which takes less than a half of an hour. The island consists mainly of pine trees, underbrush, olive groves, and orchards. It also boasts some nice beaches, both pebble and sand. On a cultural note, the pre-Romanesque church of St Anthony and the church of St Nicholas are worth a visit. There is also a parish church which dates to the 15th Century. For those wishing to spend some time on the island there is accommodation for visitors.
