Slano → Lopud
Out of Marina Frapa Resort Slano, the opening leg is a 10-mile run southwest into Lopud, the second-largest of the three inhabited Elaphiti Islands. Lopud is car-free — the small village wraps the main bay on the northwest side, with stern-to mooring on the village quay accepting own anchor for a modest harbour fee. The headline draw is the Šunj sandy beach on the southeast side: one of the few natural sand beaches on the entire Croatian coast, reached by a 30-minute walk across the island from the village. Off the boat the ritual is the walk across to Šunj for an afternoon swim, the small Franciscan monastery (15th-century, fortified) on the village seafront, and the konoba dinner — grilled squid (lignje na žaru) and the local Pošip white from the Korčula vineyards across the channel are the standbys.

Dica de atracação
Stern-to on Lopud village quay with own anchor — modest harbour fee, water and power on the central berths. Bay is well-sheltered from S, SE and SW; exposed to N gradient (rare in summer). If N forecast above 18 kn, push 4 nm into Šipanska Luka on Šipan or back into Marina Frapa Resort Slano.
