Lastovo

Lastovo Island is the most remote island in South Dalmatia, and it is an excellent Croatia Yacht Charter destination for those who love unspoiled nature and old stone buildings. The sole permanent settlement, Lastovo Town, is not on the coast but lies hidden away, facing inland. This is because, when it was founded, pirates were a threat to waterside dwellings.

The island of Lastovo is what you might call an imperial estate – one where the emperor and his family (along with nobility) used to escape city life’s stresses. It was here where they found solace in their private retreat, surrounded by natural beauty and thriving nature. With olive trees around every turn and aromatic scents wafting through each moment, it’s a magical place worthy of a stop on your Croatia yacht charter.

Lastovo Island | Things see and do

  • Explore Lastovo Town, a huddle of old stone cottages, churches, and cobbled alleys, built into a hillside. Of particular note are the curious fumari (chimneys), reminiscent of minarets.
  • See Struga lighthouse in Skrivena Luka – dating from 1839; it is one of the oldest lighthouses in the Adriatic sea.
  • Go scuba diving. Diving Center Ankora, based in Zaklopatica Bay, provides diving instruction, guided dives, and sunset dives.
  • If you are here in August, attend an open-air concert at the informal Lastovo Music Festival.
  • Dine on fresh Adriatic fish at either Augusta Insula Restaurant or Konoba Santor – both are in Zaklopatica Bay, and both offer free docking for sailing guests.
  • Lastovo Island’s fertile interior produces grapes, olives, and organic seasonal fruit and vegetables, so you will eat well here.
