Elaphite Islands (Elaphiti Islands)

The Elaphite Islands / Elaphiti Islands (Elafitski otoci) are scattered to the north of Dubrovnik. The islands of Sipan, Lopud, and Kolocep are the only inhabited islands in this archipelago and life is still very slow paced and resources for travelers are scant. In the high season some simple restaurants open but apart from that visitors are on their own.

Must-see attractions nearby:

Dubrovnik Franciscan Monastery

Stradun of Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik Rector's Palace

Dubrovnik Square of the Loggia

Regular water taxis from Dubrovnik service these islands. The Elaphiti Islands are for the most part forested or farmed but they are known for having beautiful beaches and coves. There are a few old sights on some of the islands, including churches and monasteries.
