Koločep
| |
|
Koločep Island is the southernmost of a chain of small islands lying barely two miles off the coast of Croatia. Known as the Elafiti Islands (from the Greek word elaphos, meaning deer, with which the islands were presumably formerly populated), the chain is mostly heavily forested and unspoilt. Several of the islands are popular day trip destinations for holidaymakers staying in Dubrovnik, but visiting yachts using the various anchorages around the islands can usually escape the worst of the crowds (especially outside the peak months of July and August) and even the busier anchorages quieten down at night when the tripper boats go home. Koločep Island is barely two miles WNW of the port of Dubrovnik, and thus the easiest accessible. It offers two attractive anchorages in settled weather on its NW and E sides, Donje Celo and Gornje Celo.
