Climb on board a majestic replica of a 16th-century karaka and enjoy an unforgettable tour of the Elaphiti islands off the Croatian coast!

Tour Details

At the scheduled time, you will be picked up from your hotel or meet at Gruž Port based on your booking choice. You will board a Karaka, a detailed replica of a 16th-century galleon. This type of vessel was crucial to the Republic of Ragusa in competing with Venice for Mediterranean trade.

The first stop will be the island of Kolo?ep, where you will have 1 hour and 15 minutes of free time. Kolo?ep is known for its pre-Romanesque churches built from the 9th to 11th centuries.

Next, we head to Šipan, the largest Elaphiti island, where you will also enjoy 1 hour and 15 minutes of free time to visit the summer mansions of the aristocracy and explore the island's cypress, lemon, and orange groves.

Our final destination is Lopud, offering up to 3 hours of free time to relax on Šunj Beach, hike to Fort Sutvra?, or enjoy local cuisine. The tour concludes back at the starting point after approximately 6 to 9 hours.
