24 hour doctor. On Lastovo, there is a healthcare centre on duty 24 hours a day. It has a dentist as well as a pharmacy. Emergency and serious patients are taken by helicopter to the hospital in Split due to the island's distance from the mainland.
Imperial Island. The island of Lastovo belongs to the South Dalmatian archipelago. Due to its distance from the mainland, it seems isolated, like it plunges into the blue sky and open sea. It is 10 km long and 5.8 km wide, with a total area of 56.2 km2. The Romans called it the Imperial Island because of its numerous fields, rich forests, beautiful wreath of islets and rocks that surround it, countless hidden coves and abundance of sea fish.
Lastovo is well connected to Split and Vela Luka.
Each day there is a ferry (5 hours) and a catamaran (2.5 hours) from Split. You can also use the Vela Luka port on Korcula(Google Map).

The patron saints of Lastovo and the people of Lastovo are the holy brothers Cosmas and Damian (Kuzma and Damjan) who were early Christian saints-martyrs and who as teachers in the Catholic church were physicians and healers. The parish church in which is located the work of Giovanni Lanfranco, one of the best Roman craftsmen of the 17th century, is dedicated to them.
