Lastovo has always been, and still is, an imperial island, an oasis of nature, peace and tranquility. It is the most remote inhabited island in Croatia, with protected natural beauty that will take over your imagination and fill your time as much as you like. The island has a rich and tumultuous past, as it was exposed to constant changes in the world’s superpowers, but it has essentially built up and maintained it’s own secret power. The rich cultural heritage is an island symbol of the survival of Lastovo’s unique culture and its inhabitants. Lastovo is a world heritage site, which has evolved to the fullness of its beauty on a small island in the middle of the Adriatic Sea. It is a good fit with all the master builders of Lastovo’s cultural and architectural heritage, who learned their skills and have woven them into the natural surroundings. Due to its rich natural flora, Lastovo has always adorned the title “Green Island”. Another thing characteristic for the island is its relief, its hills and deep valleys and fertile fields. The natural shapes guard plants in the long dry summers without rain, that keep their yield and survival with morning dew. Mystical is the combination of nature and it’s gifts that intertwines with the tastes and smells of Lastovo’s traditional delicacies.
