Lastovo is the closest check-in location to southern Italy being only 60 miles from Vieste and usually reachable within a daylight sail.
Until recently, the island was a military outpost and forbidden to foreign yachts. Today it is open to cruisers, and has very little tourist development and is quiet, somewhat seedy and austere, but still interesting to visit.
It has a nice secure anchorage and is a good place to hang out and prepare for the cruising season.

Skrivena Luka (Anchorage)
Skrivena Luka is sheltered from all winds and seas. Good holding in 5 to 15 m sand and mud bottom. A couple of konobas on the shore, one with moorage available.
Pat and Rosalind [Morgan le Fay] 15-Sep-2008I tried to anchor in here in a south easterly gale when I came across from Mljet, but the gusts in the bay were quite severe, and the holding on the weed bottom did not instill any confidence, so I hightailed it to the secure anchorage near Ubli.
Otherwise a pleasant bay with a few konobas(tavernas) and holiday homes.
It shallows off to the head of the bay in the north.
