Апартаменты Island Lastovo

The Lastovo Archipelago is one of the richest and best preserved botanical areas in the Mediterranean.
The flora on Lastovo is determined by the isolation of the open sea, plenty of sunlight and night humidity, as well as the special and deep Lastovo soil. There are 810 species recorded so far, including endangered species, species extinct elsewhere, endemic and steno-endemic species.

Houses on Lastovo are adorned with Mediterranean plants growing around them: almond, lemon, orange, palm and carob trees. This environment also suits medicinal plants such as sage, mint, milfoil, rosemary, lavender, fennel and camomile. Grapevines and olive trees predominate among cultivated plants.
Of the island’s 38 churches and chapels, some preserved, some ruinous, 21 are registered as protected cultural goods.
