Legend has it that Lastovo was a brave warrior who arrived on the island with a mission to defend the local people from the attacks of the dreaded pirates who terrorized the coast.

One day, as Lastovo was exploring the island's rugged coastline, he stumbled upon a hidden cave. As he entered, he was amazed to find that it was filled with precious treasure, including gold coins, jewels, and artifacts of great value. Overcome with greed, Lastovo began filling his pockets with as much treasure as he could carry.
But as he made his way back to the shore, he was ambushed by a band of pirates, who had been tipped off about the treasure by a jealous rival. In the ensuing battle, Lastovo was mortally wounded, but he managed to hide the treasure in a secret location before he died.
To this day, the people of Lastovo believe that the treasure still lies hidden somewhere on the island, waiting to be discovered by a brave adventurer. And some say that on quiet nights, the ghost of Lastovo can be seen wandering the coastline, searching for his lost treasure.
