Island Kolocep
Kolocep
(Kalamota) - a green island with centuries' old woods of pine and carob, olive groves and
gardens filled with oranges and lemons, with beautiful beaches and a large
fragrant park is one of the most beloved excursion destinations from Dubrovnik.
Two settlements, Donje Celo and Gornje Celo, one on the east coast and the other
on the west, are connected by a windy road through olive groves and gardens.
Many remnants of old architecture have been preserved, and are dispersed
throughout the island (an old pre-Romantic chapel, ruins of the basilica, summer
homes, guard tower and more). In the Chapel of St. Anton is the polyptych of
Ivan Ugrinovic (15th century), one of the best works among the Dubrovnik
painters. The beautiful landscape of the artist has enthralled and attracted
many a painter. There are boat connections to Gruz Harbour several times daily. (For
