Lastovo  an island situated south of the island of Korcula with a surface area of approximately 53 km2 and is inhabited by about 1300 residents. The highest height is the hill Hum at an altitude of 417m. The island has two settlements, Ubli on the coast and Lastovo in the interior. Lastovo is an island of numerous bays, beaches, lush vegetation, vineyards, olive groves and gardens. The residents are primarily farmers and fisherman, as the sea here is rich in fish.

 

 

This also enables the residents to work in tourism, with the beautiful new homes erected along the coastline. Particularly lovely are the romantic Skrivena luka (Hidden harbour), and near Ubla in a place called Pasadur is the Hotel Solitudo. For centuries, the island of Lastovo was under the rule of the Dubrovnik Republic, which is evident in the sheer numbers and value of its architectural and artistic heritage. The city of Lastovo in particularly is interesting, situated on the southern slopes of a hill, with a series of old Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque homes with their picturesque and unique chimneys.
