If you visit the palace, you should also see the summer residence of the Ohmučević family, who were once famous sailors and shipowners. There are a few restaurants where you can try delicious meals of both local and international cuisine in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere.

Šipanska Luka, Šipan island - Elafiti

Šipanska Luka is the second settlement on the Šipan Island. In the past this was a favourite place of the nobles from Dubrovnik because of the beautiful landscape, fertile lands, area sheltered from the winds and closeness to Dubrovnik.

Mooring

Restaurant buoys, anchoring

Caution:
>Anchoring can be done throughout the harbor. It is important to leave enough maneuvering space for a passenger ship arriving in the evening and at night from the inner side of the pier.
>Anchoring is not recommended for unstable weather conditions. The bottom does not hold anchor well enough for summer storms, especially after the tramontana storm, which can be strong in the bay. Then it often happens that the anchors start to slip.
