Lopud is great for a relaxing holiday with no cars and a friendly atmosphere. The views and the sunsets are exceptional. Unfortunately some of the restaurants have now become too expensive for UK visitors.

We went to Lopud direct from Dubrovnik Gruz Port. Note, its not the port near the Old Town and you need an uber / bus/ taxi to get there if staying in the Old Town. Lopud is incredible island. Will list pros and cons as easier to read: PRO's: 1)TWO incredible beaches. Beach Lopud is shallow and perfect for just cooling off and young kids. Sandy beach, no need for water shoes. Beach lopud is near the bakeries, supermarket etc.. and most of the accommodation. Beach Sunj (pronounced Shoon) is 30 minute walk or 5 minute golf cart ride on the opposite side of the island. Gorgeous beach, big but very busy. Lots of bars, sunbeds, showers. Pebble beach but sandy in the water. no need for water shoes. Water was clear and beautiful. CONS: 1) very very expensive. 5.5 euro for a soft drink at a restaurant. 2) very underwhelmed by the restaurants. Everything i ordered was expensive, and i could have made better at home and i'm not the best cook. One night, i ordered a tomato based seafood pasta and it was inedible. They did not charge me for it as i could not eat it. 3) showers on sunj beach are 1EURO to use. This was the first time we came across having to pay for showers. Cavtat they are free. Dubrovnik they were free. 4) sunbeds and umbrellas - 20 EURO for 2 sunbeds and 1 umbrella. Pricey. 5) lovely island but has run down feel. We loved our stay as we had accommodation right on the beach, which was just surreal but everything else was a little disappointing. Beaches are 5 star but restaurants and supermarkets, 1 star at best.

Beautiful - could be a 'bit part' location for a bond film in the Port - old monastery story church is beautiful. lovely beaches - particularly Sunj beach which is in a stunning cove. You can either walk to the beach from the port (further than i would choose to walk in the heat) or get one of the 'taxis' (golf buggies) will take you the last half of the walk - and the view when you drop down into the bay is such a lovely surprise. Lots of walking to be done and a really relaxing place - good for a night or a week's stay.
