We leave Sipan behind early today and sail out towards Mljet Island National Park. Two salt water lakes surrounded by a lush, green forest, the larger one with a small island in the middle, make Mljet a spectacular location for kayaking, paddleboarding, hiking, cycling and swimming. You can choose to cycle from the catamaran to the lakes, where you can take a boat to the small island with a 12th century Benedictine monastery. Entrance fee to the national park is not included, but can be paid on spot. In the late afternoon we will sail towards the Peljesac Peninsula and anchor in a quiet bay near Zuljana Village.

Disembark in the morning and check into your accommodation in Sipanska Luka, which will be our base for the last four nights of the holiday.

This village at the far end of Sipan Island, with a beautiful sunset, is a charming and romantic fishing village in a bay surrounded by palm trees. Its beauty makes it a favorite mooring place for sailing yachts. Sipan is the largest of the Elaphiti Islands, and its landscape, castles, chapels, and monasteries are ideally explored by bike or on foot. It was lucky enough to reach its peak of development at the time when the Republic of Dubrovnik was at its richest. The result is the largest number of summer villas found among all three inhabited islands, as well as numerous churches, chapels, and monasteries. A road with very little traffic connects two villages, Luka Sipanska and Sudjurad, and makes this route ideal for cycling.

The Elaphiti Islands are also a paradise for sea kayaking and snorkelling. We set out from Luka Sipanska, paddling west towards Jakljan, Tajan, and Olipa islands. These islands offer hidden beaches and indented coastlines, perfect for exploration. All three are uninhabited, and their beaches can only be accessed from a small boat or kayak, resulting in several secluded beaches and a rich, undisturbed underwater world.

Today, we hop on our bikes for a quick trip across the island to the village of Sudjuradj. Your guide will accompany you on the ride and provide tickets, as well as information about the island you are about to explore on your own today: Lopud.

Lopud has many beautiful walking routes that take one from the shore to the top of the island and back. This island’s true treasures are its tiny churches and an ancient fort strategically located at one of its highest points. In the past it served as an observation point and was used to protect the island’s safety. Descend to the natural sand beach Sunj for a relaxing day, where you can visit seaside restaurants with a sea swing and hammocks nestled in the forest—an ideal place to enjoy a drink in the island’s tranquillity.

Catch a ferry back to Sipan in the afternoon and bike back to Luka Sipanska.
