The
Elaphite islands or as their name suggests “The Deer Islands”
consist of large number of reefs and rocks and eight islands and
five islets, namely: Daksa, Kolocep, St. Andrija, Lopud, Ruda,
Šipan, Mišnjak, Jakljan, Kosmec, Golec, Crkvine, Tajan and Olipa.
They are located just west of Dubrovnik and give a special touch
to that part of panorama, especially at sunset, when they seem
the most beautiful. Only three islands in the whole Elaphite archipelago
are inhabited; Kolocep, Lopud and Šipan.
To
get to any of the inhabited Elaphite islands is fairly easy as
ferry boats go on a regular basis leaving out of Dubrovnik's port,
the Port of Gruz. And if you would like to go to the other islands
or maybe even take a cruise on the Adriatic you can always rent
or charter a boat or a sailboat.
Kolocep,
Lopud and Sipan are the islands chosen by the many families of
The Dubrovnik Republic aristocracy for their summer manors. Some
of these manors stand there today unfaded in full beauty reflecting
a rich history of the islands and their owners. Each of these
islands is like a special pearl, each similar to the other but
still somehow different.

Garden
wedding: The Botanic Garden is a beautiful oasis of trees, flowers,
and pastoral scenes—and the perfect place for your marriage
ceremony. Hidden behind the historic structures are lush gardens.
The garden lies along the sea path, this means that you can have
a ceremony on the elevated level of the garden overlooking the
sea. Or you can enter the garden and choose to have the ceremony
under the palm trees.
