Galleon Cruise around the Elaphiti Islands

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

Description

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel or chosen meeting point and make our way to Gruž Port. There we'll board the Karaka, a detailed replica of an authentic 16th-century galleon. This type of vessel helped the Republic of Ragusa compete with Venice for control of Mediterranean trade.

Our first stop is Kolo?ep, with an hour of free time. This island, important for boat construction, is home to seven pre-Romanesque churches built between the 9th and 11th centuries.

Next, we visit Šipan, the largest of the Elaphiti Islands, where you can explore the old summer mansions of the aristocracy and the scenic groves of cypress, lemon, and orange trees. Its port and quiet beaches offer views of the coast and nearby islands.

Our final stop will be Lopud, where you'll have time to explore gardens and parks, walk along the bay, and see the old Franciscan monastery. Lopud also features sandy beaches for swimming and relaxation.

We conclude the tour by returning to the starting point.
