Šipan

Sipan is one of the largest islands of the Elaphite archipelago.  The island is close to Dubrovnik, with good connections, so much so in the 15th Century the Dubrovnik upper class bought and built architectural delights in Sipan, an especially great one is the Sorkocevic's family summer house.  If you were to head west to Sipanska Luka you would not fail to notice is the Gothic Rector’s Palace built in the 15th Century which dominates the village.

Mljet (Polače)

This village is flanked by the walls of the Roman Palace from the 5th Century, hence the name ‘Polace’.  This is the largest Roman building in the whole of Dalmatia.  Polace is close to the entrance for Mljet National Park so is a popular destination, however it still retains a traditional fishing village feel to it.

Lastovo (Zaklopatica)

A heavenly place for divers and sailors alike, the village of Zaklopatica is a short distance away from the town of Lastovo.  Zaklopatica is a wooded bay located on the north side of Lastovo with a few restaurants in the cove to while away a night, and with a view of the neighbouring Island of Korcula its fantastic experience.

Lastavo is famed for its carnival in which the entire population of the island enthusiastically take part and provides an opportunity for visitors to admire the lovely male and female traditional folk costumes. The island was closed to foreigners for 50 years, and will be an unusual discovery for visitors to this part of the Adriatic.

Lastovo, with its 46 small islands and their shoals is an eldorado for followers of big game fishing for yellowtail and tuna. But with all these attractions, it is not an exclusive or expensive enterprise, as local fisherman have been catching these big trophies for their own food for as long as can be remembered

Korcula

The town of Korcula (3232 inhabitants) is the historical, cultural and political centre and the historical harbour of the island. It was built on a small peninsula that limits the passing between the island and the mainland on only 1270 metres.

The possibility to supervise the navigation of galleys and sailing-vessels on this spot was the reason for the formation of the small town-fortress. It fulfilled this service for different governors. The town developed hastily from the 13th century, in the form it can be seen today. Those were the years of the origin of the Constitution, the coming of the governors Zorzi and the century of Marco Polo.

If you’re lucky enough to be at the end of July, you may catch the Moreška sword dance which is now only performed in Korcula, be prepare for smoke and gunfire!

Mljet (Sobra)

Sobra is the main port on the island of Mljet, however it’s still relatively peaceful as it’s mainly used as a fishing port for the inner villages.  There are a few restaurants in the bay, where you can enjoy dinner in lovely surroundings and also a small shop to stock up on food.

Kobaš (Pelješac)

On the Pelješac peninsula covers a large area to the west of Dubrovnik, this region is famous for producing red wine, such as Postup and Dingac which are grown on the south side of the Pelješac peninsula for hundreds of years. Kobaš is a small peaceful village on the peninsular with a few houses and some local fish resturants, a great way to end your sail.
