Largest Elaphiti Island

Šipan is the largest of the Elaphiti islands; divided into two settlements on opposite sides of the island, Suđurađ and Šipanska Luka. The road from one side of the island is 5,2 km long so Šipan is the only Elaphity island with cars.

Historically it was recognized by noble families from Dubrovnik as an oasis of peace and beauty. Therefore, today island hides 42 summer villas and 34 churches. Suđurađ is dominated by two fortified towers that were used for protection and they are a part of two summer villas that belonged to family Skočibuha.

Although the monuments from the middle ages are scattered around the island Šipanska Luka is dominated by Villa Stjepović, a family that earned their fortune in chile and upon their return in 1908. built the current villa.
