The apartment was perfect for the two of us and was very clean, comfortable and well appointed. As per the photographs, the views from the terrace were stunning - clear blue sea on the back door step, a great view of the harbour with the mountains beyond providing a lovely back drop.
There was a sandy beach about 200m away with pebbly beaches dotted around elsewhere. It was possible to walk ( steep at times) to the other side of the island (3km long) and we also borrowed bikes from the family for more exploring.
There were a couple of bars at the harbour, one serving meals...there were two more restaurants on the island, one quite pricey but with beautiful views/sunsets, the other a more basic fish restaurant. The only hotel (by the sandy beach), served meals to non residents and it was possible to get a very reasonable 3 course dinner plus a drink for under £15.00 pp.
Getting to Kolocep was very straight forward...Atlas bus from the airport which stopped at the Old Town of Dubrovnik before continuing to the port/bus station. (30 mins approx, 2nd stop) The ferry 'Postira' chugged out of the port about 5 times a day through the summer and cost less than £4.00 single.The ferry went on to the islands of Lopud and Sipan, both bigger than Kolocep and both worth a visit.
Ante and his family were extemely hospitable, very friendly and suppportive. Ante took us on a trip round the island in his boat and helped with transport if the ferry times weren't good. They let us sample their local home cooking - cakes, jam, drinks etc and generally helped to make the holiday very memorable. If you are wanting to relax in the sunshine and don't have huge needs for entertainment and nightlife, this is the perfect place...We would go back!
