Weeklong tours give you a true taste of Adriatic island life. The Dalmatian coast is one of nature’s most beautiful spots, with crystal clear seas, plenty of sunshine, and a rich cultural heritage. You’ll paddle by medieval walled cities and uninhabited islands. You’ll cycle past Renaissance villas set in Tuscan-like landscapes. You’ll hike a trail, scented with wild lavender and rosemary, to a hilltop fortress or ancient monastery. Mainly, you’ll enjoy the laid-back atmosphere, simple lifestyle, and warm climate the islands are noted for. The islands remain unscathed from the Balkan Wars of the 1990s and are free of commercial development.
AKT's most popular weeklong tour begins on Lopud Island, a 40-minute ferry ride from the city of Dubrovnik. Situated in the middle of the three inhabited Elafiti Islands, Lopud is the perfect site for kayak touring the Elafiti Islands and for the tour’s home base. You stay in a quaint stone guesthouse in Lopud’s only town. You enjoy picturesque scenery, vibrant sunsets and delicious local cuisine prepared at Lili's, a private restaurant overlooking the island’s wide beach-lined bay.
