No Fear. It is important to point out to all the visitors of the island that Lastovo is free from dangerous and poisonous animals. This includes even poisonous spiders, such as well-known “black widow” which is usually a common habitant of rocky coasts. If you do see a snake, do not worry since the only snakes on the island are non-poisonous “grass snake” (lat. Natrix natrix, can be recognized with the white spot on their head). Therefore, you can walk in beautiful grass fields and lay in the shade of peaceful Evergreens, fully relaxed and immersed in nature.

Nove ekološke lampe

Eko rasvjetom protiv svjetlosnog zagađenja

Zaštita neba. Nakon godina kad se činilo da  lastovska ekskluziva:  zvjezdano nebo sa minimumom svjetlosnog zagađenja  odlazi u nepovrat, napokon dobra vijest! Na otoku je stara javna rasvjeta zamijenjena novom  koja bitno smanjuje svjetlosno zagađenje. Uklonjene su stare i  postavljeno je 235 novih  rasvjetnih tijela po čitavom otoku.

A Light on the Croatian Coast
From the May/June 2011 issue of National Geographic Traveler. Author: Paul Kvinta
 
From the May/June 2011 issue of National Geographic Traveler
I've been warned that, like almost everyone living in Croatia’s Dalmatian Islands, Jure Kvinta suffers from pomalo, a condition said to be so insidious, so overwhelming, so unstoppable, that it could undermine my entire mission. That would be tragic. I’ve come all the way to Croatia to find Jure, to conduct business of the utmost importance with him. Jure is the lighthouse keeper on Lastovo Island, one of the most far-flung and isolated of the Dalmatians. By all accounts, Lastovo is an enchanting little outpost, a place of limestone peaks and hidden inlets with just 600 people living in a medieval village surrounded by vineyards and olive groves.

The lighthouse itself is like something out of a fairy tale, I’m told, a majestic beacon perched on a 229-foot cliff overlooking the shimmering Adriatic. Jure’s father kept the lighthouse, as did his father before him. Admittedly, I’ve become fairly obsessed with the structure ever since seeing a photo of it online. There are 48 Croatian lights scattered across the Adriatic, all built in the 19th century, each stunning and inspiring in its own way. But only the one on Lastovo has a connection to my decidedly obscure, Slavic last name—Kvinta. Given that there aren’t that many Kvintas on the planet, my mission is simple: travel to Lastovo, meet Jure, determine if we’re kin, and claim possible bragging rights to having a fabulous European lighthouse in my family.

Istražite Lastovo na bicikluPut Huma - najviše planine na Lastovu

Lastovo je nevelik otok - dug 9,8 km, a širok samo 5,8 km sa brojnim uvalama i  poljima ukotvljenim među pitomim brdima. Svi oni koju cijene netaknutu prirodu, a odmor žele aktivno provesti oduševit će se biciklističkim  stazama te planinarskim i poljskim putevima, većinom markiranima, koji prepliću čitavu površinu otoka. A gdje god dođete... na kraju svake ceste, staze ili puteljka  bez daha će vas ostaviti preljepe vizure. Usput ćete neizostavno proći pokraj neke od 40-tak srednjevjekovnih crkvica.

Najidealnije doba godine  za takve pothvate su  proljeće i rana jesen kad sunce ne žeže, a vjetrić  vas hladi.

Biciklističke staze

  • Državna cesta Lastovo - Ubli: 9,52 km
  • Županijska cesta Ubli - Pasadur: 2,81 km
  • Lokalna cesta  Lastovo - Zaklopatica: 2,19 km

Fishermen night in the Lučica Bay
 Dalmatian Šufit from Split

Hosts and tourists were singing together with Dalmatian Klapa Šufit from Split.

People through Dalmatia know about the beautiful sound of Klapa Šufit  - especialy those who were lucky enought to attend the Fishermen party in the Lučica Bay, August the third. Beautiful songs, good vine and numerous local specialties, everything free of charge and spiced with warm hospitality of people living in Lučica were ingredients for a great party.
