Lastovo Islands Nature Park

Lastovo Islands Nature Park was proclaimed on 29 September 2006 and includes Lastovo, Sušac, the surrounding islands, islets, reefs, rocks and sea. The protected area covers about 196 square kilometres: 53 km² of land and 143 km² of sea. Dense woodland, fertile fields with ponds, steep coastal cliffs, land and underwater caves, and rare marine and terrestrial species shape the landscape. This is also a cultural landscape: Lastovo and Sušac contain protected heritage and archaeological sites, while Sušac has a protected historic zone with more than forty recorded finds. Walking, boating and diving reveal the park best, provided visitors follow its conservation rules.
