Visit sleepy fishing villages on the archetypal Croatian islands of Lopud and Sipan with their majestic cliffs and coastline, and crumbling hilltop architecture, including fortresses (among other things) that provide a dose of antiquity.

General Info
WALKING
The walk is moderate with only some small ascents. Full-day walks average about 13.5 km with 5 to 6 hours of walking each day. There are plenty of opportunities to add more or even reduce the walking if you wish. The walking is over well maintained sometimes ancient paths via the most scenic route possible.
For what to bring please refer to our Gear Advice section on our FAQ section.
AVAILABILITY
May to October
ACCESS
Travelling to the Start of the walk
Getting to Dubrovnik

We arrange the Dubrovnik airport transfer and take you directly to your accommodation in Dubrovnik. Once we know your travel details we will arrange the transfers for you.
Travelling at the end of the walk
Getting back to the airport
We arrange airport transfers and take you back to the Dubrovnik airport at the end of the walk. Once we know your travel details we will arrange the transfers for you.
There are various other ways to get to Dubrovnik but flying is by far the easiest and most efficient. Please let us know your travel details once you know them.
WEATHER
From May the temperature begins to rise so be prepared for warmer days if you walk in summer. Shoulder season, spring and autumn are by far the best time as the weather is perfect for walking and the added advantage of having fewer people around in the villages and on the coast (we walk away from the populated areas on the walk so crowds are not an issue.)
See the weather average temperatures at different times of the year.
INSURANCE
We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.
For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.
We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred from our suppliers and in the office. See the FAQ section for more information.
