Lopud is an island that has a settlement and small harbor of the same name. It belongs to the Elafiti islands that lie near the city of Dubrovnik. Motor vehicles are not allowed on Lopud which is connected to Dubrovnik by ferry. Archeological findings of the first settlements on the island date back to ancient times. Lopud has developed into a well-know tourist destination thanks to rich evergreen vegetation, mild Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunshine, as well as splendid swimming areas. The place itself is situated in the middle of a wide bay with a spacious pebble beach. The stone houses are surrounded by palm trees, cypresses, citrus fruit trees and subtropical plants that flourish here. You can find accommodation in private rooms and apartments, as well as in two hotels. Lopud is ideal for a quiet holiday in a breathtaking landscape. Make sure to visit Dubrovnik and enjoy the events of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival.
