The Elaphiti Islands or the Elaphites ((クロアチア語:Elafitski otoci) or Elafiti) is a small archipelago consisting of several islands stretching northwest of Dubrovnik, in the Adriatic sea.〔(The Rough Guide to Croatia:Elaphiti Islands ) by Jonathan Bousfield〕 The Elaphites have a total land area of around and a population of 850 inhabitants. The islands are covered with characteristic Mediterranean evergreen vegetation and attract large numbers of tourists during the summer tourist season due to their beaches and pristine scenery. The name comes from the Ancient Greek word for deer (Doric: ἔλαφος; elaphos), which used to inhabit the islands in large numbers. Roman author Pliny the Elder was the first to mention the islands by the name Elaphiti Islands ((クロアチア語:Jelenski otoci) or Deer Archipelago) in his work Naturalis Historia, published in the 1st century. ==Islands==
