Nowadays Lopud is a charming and relatively quiet place with good beaches, without cars or traffic, home to a permanent population of under 300 people. In the past however, Lopud was an important port, with great strategic importance; in the 17th century it is said to have had a population of 14,000 people, mostly involved in seafaring. Formally part of the Republic of Dubrovnik, from the 18th to the early 20th centuries, the French, English, and Austrians took turns controlling this strategically located little island. Nowadays there are reminders of the island's more momentous maritime past with the atmospheric ruins of a fortress and palace; churches dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries; and a restored Franciscan monastery. You will have the day to walk around the island and enjoy its beaches before returning to Dubrovnik in the afternoon. (B)
