Adventure Lastovo started to flourish. That is because <strong>the</strong> Yugoslav military regime forbade foreigners from coming to this island, which made it “forbidden fruit” for foreign tourists along with <strong>the</strong> island of Vis. These days, many of <strong>the</strong>m already know about <strong>the</strong> traditional festivity in February, <strong>the</strong> Carnival Tuesday, which is called <strong>the</strong> Lastovo Carnival by locals. That’s when you’ll find a dummy being lowered on a 300-metre rope from <strong>the</strong> near-by hill Pokladareve Grže towards <strong>the</strong> sea, with simultaneous explosions from firecrackers that are attached to its legs. Before <strong>the</strong> very process of burning <strong>the</strong> dummy, masked people and carnival participants visit homes of <strong>the</strong> more influential people on <strong>the</strong> island and sing local songs and chants. Come August, many also visit <strong>the</strong> local jazz festival. Entertainment for young people is limited to several likeable coffee shops and one disco-club, so <strong>the</strong> island’s <strong>offer</strong>ing is much more aimed towards families, couples in love and, due to mild winters, elderly people. In <strong>the</strong> summer you can test yourself in diving courses, fish-picnic trips to near-by islands, fishing, “trecking” mountain climbing, as well as sightseeing <strong>the</strong> island on bicycles. The town of Lastovo is <strong>the</strong> largest and it’s one of <strong>the</strong> most beautiful older settlements on <strong>the</strong> Adriatic. The whole settlement is a protected cultural monument due to its unique renaissance architecture and amphi<strong>the</strong>atric way of constructing. The town can’t be seen from <strong>the</strong> sea as it is located inland, which is fur<strong>the</strong>r proof of <strong>the</strong> turbulent past and pirate activity. Right below <strong>the</strong> town of Lastovo, <strong>the</strong>re is a place called Lučica, little bay with archaic stone fishermen houses and boat moorings. When you leave <strong>the</strong> town of Lastovo, you can head to Skrivena Luka (“hidden port”) on <strong>the</strong> south of <strong>the</strong> island, which has an ideal shape for nautical people. This large bay is protected from <strong>the</strong> sea and <strong>the</strong> wind from all sides, and it features hidden peace, quiet and wonderful nature, which makes it ideal for resting, swimming and exploring <strong>the</strong> rich underwater world. That’s where you can also find <strong>the</strong> oldest Austro- Hungarian lighthouse on <strong>the</strong> Adriatic, as it ascends on a tall steep cliff and guides all ships to safety with its light. Zaklopatica is ano<strong>the</strong>r natural bay worth mentioning, Zaklopatica and it’s located three kilometres ahead of Lastovo. It received its name after a little island that closes in on <strong>the</strong> bay. These days, Zaklopatica is renowned for its fantastic taverns, which are a true “must see” for all foreign sailors as <strong>the</strong>y enter Croatian waters. South of <strong>the</strong> island, you can find an archipelago called Lastovnjaci, comprised of 46 little islands, and you will find Vrhovnjaci as you go even fur<strong>the</strong>r south, and that’s a group of ridges and tiny islands that vertically rise from <strong>the</strong> deep sea and that have some volcanic activity. Some of those tiny islands feature sand beaches that are just ideal for picnics and swimming. The ferryboat harbour is located in Ubli, which is a small coastal place about 10 kilometres from Lastovo. Near Ubli, you can find <strong>the</strong> island’s tourist zone located in Pasadur, as well as a narrow passage that features a small bridge that connects Lastovo to ano<strong>the</strong>r island – Prežba. Lastovo can be reached from Split, bringing your car in tow, with a large and comfortable “Jadrolinija” ship that is active every day. The travel takes up about five hours. A catamaran represents faster means of transport for people without cars, as <strong>the</strong> trip lasts merely 2,5 hours. During <strong>the</strong> summer months, <strong>the</strong>re is a direct connection to Italy that is provided by a catamaran that travels two times a week. Split can be reached by plane, railroad, ship or highway. Most of <strong>the</strong> island’s private accommodation is located in <strong>the</strong> tourist zone on both sides of <strong>the</strong> bridge, and that’s where you can find <strong>the</strong> “Solitudo” hotel (only one on <strong>the</strong> island), as well as <strong>the</strong> divers’ club and several restaurants. Hotel “Solitudo” is a unique example of harmony between architecture and nature. It is wonderfully adjusted to <strong>the</strong> thick pine forest at <strong>the</strong> very coast with some yacht moorings. The hotel was built in <strong>the</strong> 1980s and it has a long, rich history of carrying <strong>the</strong> island’s tourism industry. It has recently been completely redecorated and it now features wonderful rooms and apartments with balconies that overlook <strong>the</strong> sea. A sumptuous pine forest and <strong>the</strong> crystal-clear sea give special charm to this place, and <strong>the</strong>y certainly deserve a visit from everybody. Lastovo is truly <strong>the</strong> last Mediterranean paradise. 51
