Today in the morning you will explore the Adriatic sea and 1 or 2 of the Elaphiti islands in Dubrovnik Archipelago Lopud or/and Koločep as this is the best 1-day boat trip in the area.
You will see the Dubrovnik walls from the seaside, boat around Lokrum island before you go to the Small Dubrovnik archipelago, Elafiti islands Koločep and Lopud.
Small as they are, with no cars on the islands are the perfect crowd getaway.
Both of these islands have only about 100+people living on them.
These islands are also rare places with real sandy beaches on the Dalmatian coast.
Most of the coast is rocky and rugged, so places like this are highly appreciated in Croatia.
The Lopud island once functioned as the summer residence for Dubrovnik’s nobility, while also being an important agricultural spot, but nowadays tourism became the focal point of the local economy. There is only one village on Lopud with the same name.
The interesting fact is that the highest palm trees on the whole Mediterranean age growing on this little island.
Another island – Koločep, is the Southernmost inhabited island in Croatia.
It is only 2.4 square miles big, with approximately 100 people living on it during the whole year. There are no cars on Koločep, or as the local people call it Kalamota, and it is great for walking/hiking on it.
This list of green oasis is only 20 minutes from Dubrovnik with a boat and once you walk on it seems like you are somewhere far away from the city crowd.
Local secret: on this island, you will find a great little family-run restaurant that serves the best-grilled calamari you will find in Croatia!
If you like scenic walks both of these two islands have a beautiful seaside path on the Southside of the islands.

The real deal
If you are coming to Croatia I heartily recommend Roberto P / Soul of Croatia to make your trip memorable and trouble free. Robi is an excellent organizer and very knowledgeable guide. He designed a cycling trip that gave me and my husband just the right amount of challenge and I finished feeling great. Croatia is so beautiful and he is incredibly generous with true insider info and connections. I will never forget the experiences and memories he made for us - and I have never before laughed so hard on a guided trip. I truly felt like he brought the Soul of Croatia to us.

Amazing vacation in Croatia
First time that we've been moved to make a post like this but just returned from a week long cycling trip in Croatia that is easily among the best vacations we have ever taken largely due to the expert organization and guidance provided by Robi of Soul of Croatia. Every day was truly a new adventure highlighted by beautiful rides, exceptional views, gorgeous weather, wonderful local food and people and Robi's commitment to ensuring that we fully enjoyed and appreciated the diversity and rich history that this beautiful country offers. Like everybody else in our group, we cannot wait to make a return trip and highly recommend Robi/Soul of Croatia to any others contemplating a trip to this part of the world. Thanks again Robi and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Michael and Joanne K

A Most Amazing Cycling Trip
Our cycling trip with Roberto was one of the best trips I have ever taken. And this is the second cycling trip I have done with Roberto. I didn’t possibly think he could outdo the excellence of the first trip, but Roberto did. The second trip also exceeded all of my expectations. Our group of eight friends were taken on a private Cycling tour carefully customized to meet all of our needs. Roberto picked daily Cycling adventures which brought us to exquisitely beautiful places in Croatia, and each day was more beautiful than the last. Roberto’s knowledge of Croatia, his connections to the local people, his passion for the history and customs of every place that we visited, could not be replicated by anyone else. Roberto personally took us on a tour of the old city of Dubrovnik, as well as the city of Ston, and he constantly provided us with knowledge of the local areas. Roberto chose restaurants for us, which were excellent and which served traditional delicious Croatian cuisine. Roberto had personal connections to many of the restaurants and wineries we visited which meant we were provided with the highest level of service. Both before, and after our trip, Roberto assisted us with any other excursions and bookings we were interested in. After our trip was complete he personally took us on a boat tour where we swam in amazing caves. It was an exceptional trip, and I cannot recommend Roberto and Soul of Croatia highly enough to anybody who would like to experience Croatia as it should be experienced.
