Day 4
Mljet - Lastovo

After breakfast, depart towards Lastovo, the largest island of the archipelago of the same name. Lastovo was a military base for the Yugoslavian Army and therefore closed for tourism till 1989. That is one of the reasons why the island kept its natural wooded beauty and sense of isolation. The central town of the island is located inland, which is very unusual for the islands, this is because the inhabitants had to hide from the pirates who tried to conquer this island many times during the past. After lunch on board, there will be a transfer to  Lastovo town, a very picturesque town with old stone houses set on a slope. Wine tasting at the local winery. Dinner onboard and overnight in the port. (B, L, T, D)
