Šipan

Add to my wishlist

In the very south of Croatia, near the poetic city of Dubrovnik, lies a small island paradise called the Elaphites or Elaphiti Islands. The largest among them is the island of Šipan, which is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the island with the largest number of olive trees relative to size.

Šipan has historically been a favourite resort of Dubrovnik noble families who enjoyed the beautiful beaches, abundance of greenery, excellent food, and the meditative peace on this island.

In two larger towns on the island, Šipanska Luka and Suđurađ, you can enjoy the island's hedonism and explore the rich cultural and historical heritage by visiting 42 old summer villas, including the elegant Skočibuha Palace, 34 churches, and numerous chapels. The island of Šipan is an intimate watercolour painting in which nature draws the most beautiful scenes with the stroke of a brush.
