Elafiti Islands

The Elaphite Islands are located northeast of Dubrovnik on the Adriatic Sea. There are three major islands called Sipan, Lopud and Kolocep. You can make excursions from Dubrovnik by ferry for a day, but the ferry schedule is not very tourist friendly as the crossings are infrequent and early. The ferry transportation is critical to the islands' inhabitants and their means of supply, so it's very normal for each ferry stop to have lines of people to fill the boat as well as food, drinks and everything the islanders and tourists need like crates of giant watermelons, potatoes and vegetables, boxes and cases of soda, water and detergent.
