Šipan, also known as Sipano, is the largest of the Elaphiti Islands. It is 17 km northwest of Dubrovnik and has an area of 16.22 km2. It is the largest island in this group and its highest point is 243 m above sea level. Two limestone crests, the higher (Velji Vrh, 243 m) in the northeast and the lower in the southeast surround a dolomite depression, on which olives, figs, vine, carob-trees, almond-trees, oranges and citrus fruit are cultivated. The island`s population is 419 (2011). There are two ports on the island, Suđurađ (San Giorgio) in the east, and Šipanska Luka (Porto Gippana) in the west. The island is also famed for its numerous palm tree species that grow on the island. It is the likely location of the naval Battle of Tauris during Caesar`s Civil War. We visited Šipan as part of a day trip to the Elephati Islands from Dubrovnik in the summer of 2022. 17 13 17 22 28 36
