Roman and Venetian architecture, summer music festivals, rocky headlands, cliffs, unspoilt nature and the blue sea, beautiful churches and evocative ruins of the old town are the main attractions of this enchanting land. Lastovo is quite a remote island comparing to its neighbors, which means it’s less crowded. It is a perfect choice for those who love travelling off the beaten paths.

Wine lovers are welcome to taste locally produced red and wine. North of the island there’s a small town called Pomena from where you can reach two saltwater lakes and have a swim in the crystal-clear waters.
