|Covered with pine forests and lush Mediterranean vegetation, and sprinkled with olive groves, vineyards and 16th-century villas, the pristine Elafiti Islands make for a fabulous day-trip from Dubrovnik. The water is crystal-clear waters and there are countless secluded coves to explore.
The three largest islands, Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan, are inhabited all year round, though it’s during the summer months that they come to life, offering a charming selection of laid-back cafés and seafood restaurants.
Beach-lovers should head to Sunj, on the lush green island of Lopud, one of the islands’ few sandy beaches, with warm, shallow waters ideal for children.
One of the best ways to explore the islands is by kayak; numerous tour operators offer guided kayaking day-trips or longer expeditions. If you prefer something a bit more relaxing, you can opt for one a sail- or speedboat, either on an organised tour or a private charter.
If you want to go independently, Jadrolinja run daily ferries from Dubrovnik to Kolocep (35mins), Lopud (55mins) and Sudurad on Sipan (75mins). The high-speed Nona Ana catamaran connects Dubrovnik to Sipanska Luka on Sipan (40mins).
Organised tours will often take in several islands, take you to hidden coves and good swimming spots, and include lunch. They usually last all day. Private charters give you the greatest flexibility in locations and duration, and the chance to find blissful seclusion.
The best time to visit the islands is from June to September. In winter, the sleepy villages on these islands can be lonely and windswept and many venues close down.
