• Reachable from Korcula in just 1 hour by fast catamaran or 2 hours by the car ferry.The main village on Lastovo, also called Lastovo was built on a steep slope overlooking fertile fields growing vegetables, grapes and olives. You can wander amongst the old stone houses with the traditional red roofs and visit the many churches dotted around the small village. The main church with three naves called Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian was built originally in the 15th century. Marvel at the unusual cylindrical chimneys on top of a number of houses in Lastovo village. Although there is not written explanation for them, commonly it is presumed they were built for practical reasons, for the smoke to be sent up high above the village but also for prestigious reasons. The wealthier your family, the taller your chimney!For fantastic panoramic views over the whole of Lastovo village and out to sea, climb up to the top of the Fort (known as Kascel) which now houses a number of important Meteorological instruments.
