Why does this matter?
Lastovo is famous for its fumari , highly individual chimneys built in increasingly decorative forms. Tradition links their extravagance to competition and displays of household standing. Some even incorporate animal horns, traditionally associated with protection from the evil eye.
Do not hunt for one official chimney. Keep walking until the village skyline begins to look like an argument between neighbours.
What should you look for?
Choose the strangest chimney you can find. Horns or sculptural details earn extra credit. Do not rush the photograph. First place the detail back inside the street, harbour or landscape that made it possible.
How to find it
- Walk through Lastovo village and keep looking upward. Find one of the island’s elaborate traditional fumari — the sculptural chimneys rising above old stone houses.
- Use the map as a final check, then look for the physical detail described above.
- Allow enough time to notice the surroundings instead of treating this as a pin to collect.
Is it worth the detour?
Yes—if you prefer a place with a story to another interchangeable viewpoint. This is not the biggest sight in Lastovo. It is the one that makes the destination less generic.
