Lastovo Islands Nature Park, Nature park with 46 islands in Dalmatia, Croatia.
Description
Lastovo Islands Nature Park is an archipelago of 46 islands, islets, and reefs in the Dalmatian Sea off Croatia's coast. The protected area spans both land and water with varied shorelines and underwater formations.
History
The Croatian government established this as a protected nature park in 2006 to safeguard the ecological character of the islands. This designation marked a commitment to preserving the marine and terrestrial environment for the future.
Culture
The islands show traditional Mediterranean ways of life through fishing practices and farming that you can observe during your visit. These customs shape how people work and move through the islands today.
Practical
You can reach the islands by regular service boats from the mainland coast, with extra connections during warmer months. Plan for travel time and check available routes before you depart to find the best option for your visit.
Did you know?
The waters around the islands host a wide variety of fish species and rare corals, including types with reddish tones and endemic varieties found nowhere else. This underwater diversity explains why the area needed protection.
