Description

While the sun is not at sleep, the Elaphite Islands guard its keep, and the sun lavishes them with its golden glare, perfecting their beauty in a twilighting sunset, a perennial performance for couples in awe enhancing the Dubrovnik dream forever more. There is a group of islands in front of Dubrovnik called Elaphite islands. The name is of Greek origin for Deer Archipelago (gk. elaphos – deer). Elaphiti archipelago consists of 13 larger and smaller islands’ but only three are inhabited: Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan. These islands are chosen by the many families of The Dubrovnik Republic aristocracy for their summer manors. Some of these manors stand there today unfaded in full beauty reflecting a rich history of the islands and their owners. Each of these islands is like a special pearl, each similar to the other but still somehow different. These islands are located  just west of Dubrovnik and give a special touch to that part of panorama, especially at sunset, when they seem the most beautiful.
