• Lastovo Island – A Hidden Gem Straight Out of a Dream

  The private yacht excursion to Lastovo Island with Korcula Adventures was nothing short of unbelievable - a true highlight of my Croatian adventure and an experience I’ll never forget. Cruising across the turquoise Adriatic on a sleek, comfortable yacht was already a dream come true, but arriving at Lastovo took things to an entirely different level. This island is pure magic - peaceful, untouched, and overflowing with natural beauty. The views as we approached the island were absolutely breathtaking, with dramatic cliffs, lush green hills, and the sparkling sea surrounding us like a postcard come to life. The crown jewel of the day was the seafood lunch at a gorgeous cliff-side restaurant perched high above the ocean. I’ve never had a dining experience quite like it. Every dish was a revelation - perfectly grilled fish, succulent shellfish, and local specialties bursting with flavour, all paired with crisp Croatian wines and a view that made it hard to believe I wasn’t dreaming. It was the kind of meal you hope never ends. Everything was flawlessly organised by Zoran and his team - from the smooth yacht ride to the intimate, insider access to this stunning island. It felt exclusive, luxurious, and deeply personal. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime kind of day, this is it. Lastovo is a hidden gem, and seeing it with Korcula Adventures is the only way to do it right.

  Lastovo is jaw-dropping, not to be missed. This tour was the perfect way to see this special place. Lastovo's settlements are about 1,000 years old. Only 600 people live full-time on the island now, but the buildings are beautifully preserved, including 46 stone churches (!) and the island's famous ornate stone chimneys. We took the "Blaza," a comfortable, clean yacht by Captain Ivan and tour guide Zoran for a 45 minute ride from Korcula to Lastovo, where we were picked up at the tiny quaint port of Mihajlovo by Ante. He served as a 2nd tour guide since he was born and raised on Lastovo. Walking through the village of Lastovo, there were stunning vistas dotted with stone houses from the 13th Century. Many are still lived in. There's an open restaurant in a park next to the elementary school, with a giant brick oven/traditional grill. The older man who did the cooking explained the traditional process, which included an upside-down metal bell called a "peka." Unlike trendy Hvar Island, there were no kitschy mass-produced souvenir stands. Along the narrow stone residential streets, there was a single tiny stall. The elderly lady who lived across the road offered handmade jewelry, local lavender products and a huge variety of dried herbs and plants she grows in her own garden. Reading about some of these, I found that many are found ONLY on Lastovo Island. So for a few dollars, I found unique one-of-a-kind souvenirs with a great back story (and some cooking tips!). After the walk through the village, we continued to the port of Ubli for a driving tour to Hum, a former Yugoslavia military fort which is the highest peak on the island. Along the drive were soaring views of the Adriatic Sea. From the top of the mountain we could see the western-most Croatian island--less than 40 miles from Italy. This is supposedly the best site for stargazing in the region. The next stop was in a quiet bay to snorkel and swim through a WWII tunnel carved so ships could hide from air assault. Really fascinating history. The water was the typical blue-to-turquoise Adriatic Sea, crystal clear and warm. We stopped for lunch at Konoba Porto Rosso in Skrineva Luka Cove, another gorgeous bay. There were some ultra-luxury Italian and German yachts docked alongside us, but the place was still charming and minimally touristy. The food! Be prepared to gain some weight in the Dalmatian Islands. Everything was fresh and local--and way too delicious. We saw fisherman hauling in spiny lobsters as we walked on the pier. There were plenty of vegetarian options along with meat and fish. We sat at a carved wood table alongside a small sandy beach. Returning back by yacht to Korcula in the late afternoon sun (or up on the shaded flydeck) was the perfect relaxing finish to a great day. Korcula Adventures is run by a guy and his wife who've lived on Korcula Island for over 300 years so they're connected with the best tour guides, drivers, boat captains & restaurant owners throughout the whole region. Because everything's included in the price, we never worried about getting ripped off by people who prey on tourists. Though I've loved each of the tours I've taken with this family-run company, Lastovo was a favorite. Definitely a little-known gem in a magical region.
