After a 30-minute boat trip we stop at Gornje Čelo village on the island of Kolocep and disembark. The island of Kolocep is famous for its early Christian churches. Our guide leads us to the Saint Anthony's Church Da Padua (11th century) through the Gornje Čelo village and continues a 20 minute walk to the Donje Čelo Village. Half way between the villages we stop at St. Nicholas Church (9th century) and graveyard. We embark once again and head towards the island of Lopud.

The island of Lopud is our next stop. First we take a 20 minute walk to the Our Lady of Šunj Church, then on our way back the guide takes us to The Holy Trinity Church and

Our third stop is the village of Sudjuradj on the island of Sipan.
