## Overview
Lastovo is a remote Adriatic archipelago protected as a nature park. It has the darkest sky in Croatia — Bortle 2 with a full sea horizon.

Summer Milky Way rising from the sea, planets, and long meteor sessions from unpopulated coves.

## Highlights
- The darkest sky in Croatia
- Sea horizons in every direction
- Very limited light pollution — the island has ~800 residents

## Tips
- Arrive at dusk and give your eyes 20+ minutes to dark-adapt
- Use a red headlamp — white light kills night vision
- Bring warm layers; European mountain and coastal sites drop sharply after sunset
