Elaphiti Islands Karaka Cruise
Description
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, based on your selection when booking. There, we will board the Karaka, a detailed replica of an authentic 16th-century galleon. This type of boat was crucial in establishing the Republic of Ragusa as a competitor to Venice for control of Mediterranean trade.
We'll arrive at the first of the Elaphiti islands, Kolo?ep, where you'll have 1 hour and 15 minutes of free time. Kolo?ep was historically significant for its boat-building industry and is home to seven pre-Romanesque churches built between the 9th and 11th centuries.
Next, we head to Šipan, the largest of the Elaphiti Islands. You will have 1 hour and 15 minutes of free time to explore the old summer mansions of the aristocracy amidst beautiful cypress, lemon, and orange groves. The island's port and quiet beaches provide lovely views of the surrounding coast and islands.
Our final destination will be Lopud, where you'll enjoy up to 3 hours of free time. You can take a stroll along the picturesque promenade, relax at the sandy Šunj Beach, hike to Fort Sutvra? for sweeping views, or indulge in some of the local culinary offerings.
After exploring Lopud, we will return to the starting point, completing the tour in approximately 6 to 9 hours.
