Venture away from mainland Croatia and you will experience the stunning Elaphiti Islands, a small archipelago that stretches across the Adriatic Sea to the north-west of Dubrovnik.
In this archipelago, there are many islands and islets but only three that are permanently inhabited that are all accessed by a relaxing ferry ride. The islands of Lopud, Koločep, and Šipan offer families a secluded paradise in which to experience true tranquillity and enjoy your luscious Mediterranean surroundings.
On our Young Family Island Adventure, you will be based on Šipan, the largest of the Elaphiti Islands which is known for being the more rustic island of the archipelago and is popular for its scenic surroundings and relaxing, laid-back atmosphere and its fabulous wine!
