Above Lastovo, the largest place on the island, is the peak with a meteorological station, which offers a beautiful view on the eastern part of the island, the islets of Lastovci and the neighbouring island of Korcula.

Lastovo is an ideal place for peaceful vacations, far from the usual crowd of tourists. Quality accommodation facilities (hotel, apartments), home-made food (Lastovo is famous for spiny lobsters) and exquisite wines, as well as sports and recreational opportunities - yachting, surfing, fishing - guarantee a pleasant stay.

Especially attractive are excursions by boat to the islands and islets of the Lastovo archipelago, with bathing and fish picnic opportunities. The island of Saplun is famous for its beautiful sand beaches.

Lastovo has also preserved picturesque traditional costumes, worn by the local populations on special occasions. The folklore also includes old customs and legends. Very interesting is the Lastovo carnival, known as one of the most picturesque fiestas on the Adriatic.
