The larger and more important islands in the group are Kolocep (1.35 km2), Lopud (4.63 km2), Sipan (16.5 km2), Jakljan (3.45 km2) and Olipa (0.8 km2).

 

Only three of them are inhabited (Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan), with a total of about one thousand inhabitants.
There is only one settlement on the island, Lopud, situated at the end of Lopud Cove.where one can stay in private rooms and apartments. Boats for Lopud and other Elafiti islands are leaving from Dubrovnik’s Gruz harbor. It is a nice 20 minutes sail.

 

The bay is accessible from Lopud village on the island by a 1-km long footpath and is overlooked by the Church of Our Lady of Sunj.
