Uble

Uble, also called Ubli by islanders, is Lastovo’s transport gateway: its ferry port on the southwestern coast links the island with Split and Vela Luka, while other boat services include Korčula, Hvar and Dubrovnik. Yet the settlement is more than a pier. Above the harbour stand the conserved remains of the single-nave early Christian Basilica of St Peter, dating from the fifth or sixth century and associated with a Roman settlement that prospered around this natural port. The basilica is 17 metres long, and fragments of marble screens and carved decoration reveal its former furnishings; the original relief of a cross and two lambs is held by the Archaeological Museum in Zadar. A waterfront promenade runs approximately three kilometres west from Uble to Pasadur. The closest swimming choices are the concrete Pionir bathing area, the accessible pebble beach of Dragovoda about 300 metres from the quay and pine-shaded Zaglav. Pece Tavern is only around 100 metres from the ferry terminal, allowing arrivals to be combined with a meal without further transport. Local buses continue from the port to Lastovo village and Pasadur, with 2026 summer departures coordinated around sea connections. Uble consequently works well for car-free visitors and as a gateway to the western part of Lastovo Islands Nature Park.

Uble is a harbour settlement on Lastovo’s southwestern coast and the island’s only point where vehicles disembark from the ferry. Its natural port attracted settlement in Roman times, with remains from a first-century community and a fifth- or sixth-century basilica demonstrating long continuity. Modern Uble follows the rhythm of ship arrivals, onward buses to Lastovo and Pasadur, and the port’s supply functions. At the same time, the three-kilometre promenade towards Pasadur and the Dragovoda and Pionir bathing places provide enough to explore between two sailings.
