1. The Elaphite Islands are a small group of islands in the Adriatic Sea, located just off the coast of Dubrovnik. The three main islands of the group are Koločep, Lopud and Šipan, each with its own unique charm and attractions.
Koločep is the smallest of the three islands, but is known for its beautiful beaches and clear waters, making it a popular spot for swimming and snorkeling. Lopud is the most developed of the islands, with a few hotels and restaurants, as well as a sandy beach and a historic monastery. Šipan is the largest island, and is home to several small villages, as well as ancient churches and monasteries.
The Elaphite Islands are relatively untouched by tourism, and offer a peaceful and authentic experience of island life in Croatia. Visitors can explore the islands by hiking, cycling, or taking boat trips between them.
2. Each island has its own ferry schedule, and the best way to plan your visit is to check with the local tourist offices or ferry companies. Phone numbers for the ferry companies can be found online.
3. Ferry tickets can be purchased on the spot, at the ports in Dubrovnik or at each island. Prices differ per company and islands.
