Elaphiti Islands, a perfect day trip from Dubrovnik!

#postandearn One of the top day trips from Dubrovnik I kept reading about was visiting the Elaphiti (Elafiti) Islands. These are comprised of 13 small islands on the coast of Dubrovnik in the Adriatic Sea, with a total population of only 850 people. The local feel of these islands can be a wonderful escape from the more tourist-filled Old Town and gives you a closer look at Croatian culture. You can easily do this as a day trip, with many organized tours having many group tours that go out each day. I opted for a organized tour which had great reviews and took us to the three main islands. I absolutely recommend adding this to your itinerary as these islands boast pristine blue waters, cave tours, wine tasting, and so much more. There are three main islands which are actually inhabited and have ferry lines that connect to Dubrovnik. These are: Lopud, Šipan, and Koločep.
