Sipan Island
In the 15th and 16th centuries many noble families from Dubrovnik built their summer residences on Šipan. There are two main towns on the island, Šipanska Luka and Suđurađ. In the latter, you can see remains of the renaissance castle of the family Stjepović – Skočibuha, whose construction was started in 1529. Also worth visiting is the beautiful Pakljena tower which dates back to 1563.

Cycle Your Way Around The Island
The beautiful island of Šipan is the largest of the 14 Elaphiti Islands, and it is also a popular destination for sightseeing day-trippers. To maximise your time on the island, hire a bike in town and explore the quaint villages, olive groves and lush countryside, on a scenic two-wheeled road trip from Sudurad to Sipanska Luka. The two main towns are situated on opposite ends of the relatively small island, and can be easily accessed.
