The inhabited island that is at the southernmost tip of Croatia is Kolocep, whose name is derived from the Italian word for knowledge. The island is a relatively small one, covering only about 2.3 square kilometers of land area. A village in Kolocep that often charms tourists is Donje Celo, with less than 200 inhabitants, and with a large bay that offers access to visitors via ferry. Premuda is the regular boat service that takes commuters to and from Donje Celo.
