Lopud: Hotels and Accommodation
Lopud combines a protected coastal landscape, a sandy bay, paths, and historical sites. The special features of the town range from Lopud Bay to Dalmatian cuisine and cultural events.
Nature and Coast
Lopud Bay is designated as a particularly valuable natural landscape. The protected natural landscape of Lopud Bay includes habitat types and the coastal belt; at the same time, views of Lopud’s historic town centre remain accessible from land and from the sea.
Lopud is covered in lush Mediterranean vegetation. A path leads from the settlement of Lopud to the sandy Šunj Bay on the opposite side of the island. Lopud also offers coastal walks. From Dubrovnik’s Gruž port, Lopud can be reached by ferry in approximately 50 minutes.
