Lastovo (nature park)

This remote archipelago is distinguished by the exceptional indentation of the archipelago, greenery and the unique folklore heritage of the islanders. One of the reasons for the preservation and special atmosphere of peace and quiet is the distance of the archipelago, which is traveled from the mainland by more than four hours.

The most experienced sailors who reach Lastovo waters will not miss a visit to one of the famous Lastovo lighthouses, especially Glavat on a small island east of the main island of Lastovo or Susac, located on the rugged cliffs of this island lost far out to sea.

The park encompasses the western part of the most beautiful island in the Adriatic, which is adorned with lush and diverse Mediterranean vegetation. There are two deep bays, which are called lakes due to very close connections with the open sea - Veliko and Malo jezero.
