Getting there and around

Lastovo is accessible by ferry from Split and Dubrovnik. The main ferry route connects Split to Ubli, the island's port, with a stop in Vela Luka on Korčula. From Dubrovnik, there is a catamaran service to Ubli. The journey takes several hours, so plan accordingly. Once on the island, local buses connect Ubli to Lastovo Town and other villages, but schedules are limited. Renting a car or scooter is recommended for exploring at your own pace. Taxis are available but scarce. The island is small, and many places are within walking distance if you stay centrally.

When to go

The best time to visit Lastovo is from May to September, when the weather is warm and the sea is pleasant for swimming. July and August are the busiest months, but the island remains relatively uncrowded compared to other Adriatic destinations. Spring and early autumn offer mild temperatures and fewer visitors, ideal for hiking and cycling. Winter can be cold and windy, with limited ferry services and many businesses closed. The island's Poklad carnival in February or March is a unique cultural event, but travel can be challenging due to weather.
