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 replica of an authentic 16th-century galleon. This type of boat was key to the Republic of Ragusa's mercantile rivalry with Venice.

Our first stop is Kolo?ep, where you'll have an hour of free time. This island has a history in boat construction and is known for its seven pre-Romanesque churches built from the 9th to 11th centuries.

Next, we visit Šipan, the largest of the Elaphiti Islands. You will have free time to explore its old summer mansions, cypress, lemon, and orange groves. The port and quiet beaches provide stunning coastal views.

Lastly, we reach Lopud, with free time to explore gardens, parks, and admire the old Franciscan monastery. Lopud is also known for its sandy beaches, perfect for a relaxing dip in the sun.

We leave Lopud and conclude the tour back at the starting point.
