Itinerary description
|
Lopud (central island of the Elafiti archipelago) is located off the coast of Dalmatia, south of Croatia, which we arrived by boat from Zaton. The island is famous for its sandy beaches, particularly the Bay of Sunj. It has 4.5 square kilometers of surface and a population of 220 people.
No other Croatian island contains so many sacred and historical monuments in such a small space. In Lopud there are 33 chapels, 4 churches, 2 monasteries, the remains of the Rector's palace, the Spanish fortress and the local museum. This testifies to the rich history and special importance of the island within the framework of the famous Ragusa Republic.
Lopud was the summer capital of the noble ragusinos as they give testimony the many palaces that still are conserved.
Today, Lopud is an oasis of peace: with sandy beaches, paths, trails, walks and park. Just seven miles away from the medieval city of Dubrovnik has a fertile Mediterranean vegetation and a clean blue and crystal clear sea.
Lopud has become a tourist destination thanks to the rich evergreen vegetation, mild climate of the Mediterranean with a lot of sun. The place itself is situated in the middle of a wide bay with a spacious pebble beach. The stone houses are surrounded by palm trees, cypresses, citrus trees and subtropical plants that thrive. The charming beach of Sunj with its reddish sand and always the calm sea, the colors from the brilliant yellow of gold to navy blue, will make this visit unforgettable.
