Lastovo

The island of Lastovo, with it`s History, same as Vis once a military restricted area due to its strategic location at the time, a bit forgotten on the tourist map, which is what makes the charm and charm of natural beauty so special for connoisseurs. Lastovo is still something of an insider tip.

You can reach the island on the route by ferry Split – Vela Luka (Korčula) – Ubli (Lastovo) in almost 6 1/2 hours - by catamaran Split – Hvar – Vela Luka – Lastovo in just under 3 1/2 hours. The high season is short and in the off-season it can happen that you are the only tourist on the ferry there on the last stage from Vela Luka on Korčula to Ubli on Lastovo. A paradise for hikers and peace seekers.

The city Lastovo lies somewhat hidden behind a coastal mountain on the north side. The small settlement lies below Lastovo on the coast Lučica, a small cluster of houses right on the Adriatic Sea in a small bay.

Then there are small dreamy coastal towns with beautiful bays like Zaklopatica on the north side or Skrivena Luka with it`s Lighthouse Struga on the steep coast on the open south side of the island with a view towards Italy.

On Lastovo you get the fever adventure of wanting to go on the enchanted paths and on tour like From Lastovo to Skrivena Luka or From Lastovo to the bay of Zace
