the narrow peninsula to the west of the town (known as the English
castle) and the other on the hill to the east (known as the
Spanish castle). Paddling distance: 14 km Overnight: guesthouse

the inhabitants of Kolocep were the most renowned coral divers

coral, out of pure love. The atmosphere of Kolecep harking back
to ancient times, can be found in the many monuments, amongst
which are the remains of sarcophagi, stone sculputres, chapels
and churches. Because of its impressive steep cliffs and majestic
hidden caves, the island of kolocep is the favorite island of
many paddlers. Paddling distance: 16 km Overnight: guesthouse
