Island Excursions from Dubrovnik
Visiting Dubrovnik (Croatia for the unaware) is not complete without taking an island cruise to one or more of the chain of the Elaphite Islands. Cruises to the three inhabited islands — Koločep, Šipan and Lopud — can be found all over. Most of the advertised cruises, though, are expensive.
Steps to tour the islands for less money:
- Buy a Guide (or, download and print one before you leave your home)
- Take the inexpensive Jadrolinija ferry. It runs four times a day (only 2x on Sundays). It leaves from Gruz, which is only a few minutes away by bus from the old town (1A).
- Enjoy yourself and see the islands at your own pace.
If you can only go to one of the islands, choose Lopud. It’s the nicest of the three.
