Sipan, the largest island in the Elaphiti archipelago, where waves have sculpted the rocks and cliffs along the shoreline into impressive forms. The island’s interior is a hilly green quilt of vineyards and olive orchards, dotted with more than 30 chapels, 15th-century monasteries and numerous centuries-old villas. Life in Sipan’s two villages, Sudjuradj and Luka Sipanska, a charming fishing hamlet, feels little changed by time.
