Island Sipan, Island of Sipan, Croacia

Situated near to Dubrovnik is a group of little islands, which the ancient Greeks named Elafiti (the deer's islands). In the deep cove of the greatest island, Sipan, you can find the typical Dalmatian village of Sipanska Luka.

The inhabitants of this village, far from main tourist routes, live by rhythm of their ancients. The myths, the rich history of island gentry, the summer-residences of Dubrovnik's landed gentry, dense Mediterranean vegetation, crystal clear water and still summer nights make for the perfect escape from the bustle and stress of the city life.

The proximity of Dubrovnik (one hour by local ship or ten minutes by ferry to the coastal village of Slano) makes it easy to frequent historical monuments in Dubrovnik and its surroundings.

This area is surrounded by olive, carob and tangerine trees and grape vines. The apartment of 55 m² has a large terrace with a wonderful view of the sea. The apartment also has a separate entrance with its own courtyard.

It consists of 2 bedrooms of 18 m² each, kitchen with dining room and bathroom.

One of the bedrooms has double-bed, and the other one has 2 separate beds, which can be joined when needed.

If necessary, a spare bed can be placed in each room. One of the bedrooms has satellite TV, and both of them have air-conditioning.

The kitchen is fully equipped: it has a gas stove with hood, refrigerator, sink (hot and cold water), all necessary dishes (frying pan, pots) and dining set for 5 (plates, glasses, cups, forks).

In the bathroom, there is a shower-bath with a boiler and washing machine. On the terrace you can find garden table with chairs, and deck-chairs.

On the island you can come only by ship, and all lines start off the port of Gruz in Dubrovnik. All ships (boats, catamarans, ferries) dock opposite of hotel Petka – that is about 500m away of the main bus station, where the airport bus arrives.

If you came to port of Gruz by taxi or van, then insist that the driver leave you near the boat, at the dock.

On the island of Sipan there are two main places: Sudjuradj and Sipanska Luka. Most boat lines reach Sudjuradj, and then you take a bus (which awaits guests in front of the ship) to drive you to Sipanska Luka. That is a local bus line, and it takes only 3-4 minutes to drive from one place to the other.

When you arrive in Sipanska Luka, walk along the coastline until the post office (from the bus stop it’s about 250m) – you can’t miss the yellow square sign and the building where the post office is (if you arrive directly by boat to Sipanska Luka, then you can see from the boat – it is 50m away). If you still can’t see it you can ask anyone (on the boat, on the shore or the bus driver) to point you in right direction.

From the post office you can already see the houses (white and yellow). There is a road from the post office until my houses, about 70m slightly uphill. As there is no other house nearby you can’t miss them!
