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 indicated time, we'll either pick you up from your hotel, or meet at Gruž Port, depending on your choice when booking. There, we'll climb on board a Karaka, the majestic boat with which we'll take this cruise: a detailed replica of an authentic 16th-century galleon. It was thanks to boats such as this one that the Republic of Ragusa came to rival Venice for mercantile control of the Mediterranean.

We'll arrive at the first of the Elaphiti islands, Koločep, where you'll have 1 hour and 15 minutes of free time. This island was an important centre for the construction of boats over several centuries, with a population of expert sailors. It's also known as the home of seven pre-Romanesque churches, constructed between the 9th and 11th centuries.

Next, we head to Šipan, the largest of the Elafphiti Islands. During your 1 hour and 15 minutes of free time, we'll see the old summer mansions of the aristocracy, and wander among the cypress, lemon and orange groves which are scattered across the island's delightful landscape. Its port and its quiet beaches offer delightful views of the coast and other islands.

Our final stop will be Lopud, where you'll have up to 3 hours of free time to explore the island at your own pace. You can stroll along the picturesque promenade, relax on the sandy Šunj Beach, hike up to Fort Sutvrač for panoramic views, or use the time to enjoy some of the local cuisine.

We leave Lopud and end the tour back at the starting point after between 6 and 9 hours in total.

Schedule & Pickup Points

When making your reservation, you can choose the exact time and place of your hotel pickup, or the nearest pickup point to your hotel. See below for exact times:
