Isola di Šipan

Another beautiful island of the Elaphites is Šipan, whose history dates back to the ancient Illyrians. It particularly flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries during the golden age of Dubrovnik and the strong influence of urban Dubrovnik can still be felt today. Experience the charms of Šipan by walking through the fertile Šipan field, pass by the Rector's Palace, peek into the Church of St. Stephen in Luka Šipanska and enjoy home-made dishes of fresh fish and organically grown vegetables. Diving enthusiasts will definitely get their money's worth in Šipan as sea depths around the island hide many shipwrecks. This part of the Croatian coast has therefore become more and more the center of attraction of many recreational and professional divers from around the world.
