The Elaphiti Islands and Mljet offer the perfect setting to escape the crowds and enjoy stunning natural beauty while exploring centuries of history through various activities. Visiting the islands of Koločep, Lopud, and Šipan provides a relaxing break from busy daily life – from discovering untouched villages and the Blue Cave to swimming at sandy beaches and sampling local delicacies at your own pace. On the Pelješac Peninsula, in Ston, you can walk along the impressive city walls and taste fresh oysters, while Mljet National Park offers outdoor adventures in a pristine environment. A private tour lets you fully customize your day based on the places and activities that interest you most, giving you complete privacy and lasting memories.

Koločep, also known as Kalamota, is the closest island to Dubrovnik in the Elaphiti group. With no cars on the island, you can explore peaceful nature and two picturesque villages, Donje and Gornje Čelo. A private tour gives you the flexibility to choose your own departure time and explore at your own pace. Swim in the turquoise waters of the Blue Cave without the crowds and enjoy a more personal experience. Your guide will provide insights into the local history and development of this unique part of the Dubrovnik region.

Lopud is famous for its sandy beaches like Šunj, scenic viewpoints, and historical architecture. A personalized tour allows you to enjoy the island without the distraction of large tourist groups. Relax on the beach with food and cocktails from nearby restaurants, or play volleyball and traditional beach games in the shallow water. With the help of your skipper, you can plan a visit to the botanical garden or explore the old fortress—whichever interests you most.

Šipan, the largest island in the group, is known for its olive groves, vineyards, and cultural landmarks. With a private itinerary, you can visit sites like the Skočibuha family summer residence or dine at family-owned taverns serving authentic local cuisine. If you’d like to sample homemade wine or visit hidden coves, just ask—custom requests like a stop at the Green Cave or Priježba Beach are easy to arrange.

Located about fifty kilometers north of Dubrovnik, the medieval town of Ston is famous for its defensive walls and centuries-old salt pans. Built around and because of salt, this historic town offers impressive views from its high walls that stretch toward the lagoon and over 50 large salt basins. Locals have harvested salt here for more than 3,000 years. A guided visit, enriched with stories and a tasting of fresh local oysters, creates a memorable experience that captures the unique heritage of this area.

Known as the “green island,” Mljet is covered in dense forests and unspoiled nature, making it ideal for travelers seeking peace and an authentic Mediterranean experience. Often overlooked in favor of nearby Dubrovnik or Korčula, this stunning island remains one of Croatia’s hidden gems. Its main attraction is Mljet National Park, which covers the western part of the island. The park features two saltwater lakes, Veliko and Malo Jezero, connected to the sea by narrow channels. In the middle of Veliko Jezero sits the islet of St. Mary, home to a historic Benedictine monastery that adds depth to the island’s rich cultural story.
Visitors can walk through pine forests to scenic viewpoints, cycle along the lakeshores, paddle in a kayak, or swim in crystal-clear waters. The island is also home to many endemic species, attracting nature lovers and biology enthusiasts. According to mythology, Mljet is where Odysseus spent seven years enchanted by the nymph Calypso. A cave on the southern coast, named after the sailor-hero, adds a mythical charm to the island.
