 Lopud, an island with the village bearing the same name and a small harbour in the Elaphite Islands group, northwest of Dubrovnik; area 4.63 sq km (length 4.5 km; width up to 2 km); population 348. The relief is characterized by two parallel limestone crests; the higher, north-eastern crest (216 m) descends abruptly to the sea, so that the north-eastern coast is more difficult to approach. As an extension of those crests in the north-west stretches a reef called Sveti Mihajlo (St. Michael), and in the south-east the islands of Mali and Veliki Skupio and the islet of Skupio. |
