During this cruise you will see the three most beautiful islands of the Dubrovnik archipelago – Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan commonly known as the Elaphiti islands. Green islands, with gardens full of oranges and lemons and lovely seashore landscapes, charming and picturesque villages with harmonious architecture of summer manors; old seamen's houses and little votive churches. Yours to discover and enjoy!
