Kuće: Sipanska Luka, Croatia

In the immediate vicinity of Dubrovnik, there are a number of small islands, which since ancient times are called Elafiti (deer islands). The largest among them (16 km2) is the island of Šipan, which houses two larger settlements Šipanska Luka and Suđurađ. As an island of beauty, countryside and peace, Šipan was recognized by the nobles of the Republic of Dubrovnik, who built 44 summer houses and 32 churches. Among which the castle of the Skočibuha family in Suđurđa and the prince's summer house in Šipanska Luka stand out. The island of Sipan used to have 2,000 inhabitants, and today it has 150 inhabitants, mostly in Sipanska Luka. Away from the hustle and bustle of Dubrovnik (an hour and a half by boat), Šipanska Luka still lives by the rhythm of its ancestors. Crystal clear sea, dense pine forests, myths and the rich history of the island, Šipan's quiet summer nights, create the perfect environment for an escape from the pace and stress of city life.
