We take a short break of 45 minutes in small port -Suđurađ. You can relax and have a coffee in old fisherman’s port, or you can do some quick sightseeing for that time! The Island is the biggest island, and it is in the Guinness book of the records by biggest number of olive trees on one island. It is historically very interesting. During the 15th century it was a chic summer getaway for the very best Dubrovnik’s families, many of whom built villas on the island. There’s late-Gothic Rector’s Palace and ruins of archbishop’s palaces. In Suđurađ, you will find many fisherman’s families who stayed on the island and kept their tradition for all those years. The reason for that is that island is furthest from town so tourism didn’t commercialize it. You will see how people are truly living on the island. Many small and big fishing boats, old stone houses and children selling seashells in the port. Šipan is known to be called “the Mediterranean as it used to be“.

Great for all ages, not too fast or too slow. Great beach day!

Natasha was so friendly and accommodating from the very start. We constantly had our drinks refilled and everything we could possibly need. It was a slower boat, but so comfortable. We had reserved seats to make sure our entire party could sit together. Timing on each island was just right. Our kids and my parents greatly enjoyed the trip, perfect for all ages!
