Susak je jedinstveni otok na Jadranu kako po svom nastanku tako i po svom izgledu.Otok se na pomorskim kartama pojavljuje vrlo rano, prvo pod romanskim nazivom Sansacus ili Sansegus. Prvi spomen otoka u pisanim izvorima seže u sredinu 9. stoljeća, kada su se u njegovom akvatoriju sukobili Saraceni i Mlečani.Najviše stanovnika živi na otoku Susku nakon završetka II. svjetskog rata. Od 1985. godine na Susku se slavi Dan iseljenika, zadnje nedjelje u mjesecu srpnju.Prvo naselje, čiji počeci sežu u rimsko vrijeme, nastalo je na plodnoj visoravni i naziva se Gornje selo, dok je Donje selo, smješteno u luci, novijeg datuma, izgrađeno u vrijeme najvećeg procvata vinogradarstva krajem 19. stoljeća.Zbog svoje izoliranosti, Susak je sačuvao svoj arhaičan govor (zaštićen kao pokretno kulturno dobro), specifične običaje i slikovitu nošnju.

The history of this Island dates back to the 9th Century. It is really isolated, which I found to be a good thing since its beauty has been preserved very well. I loved their vineyards. They were marvelous
Tomas
This Island's history was so fascinating. I enjoyed swimming in its waters and sunbathing on its beaches. The surrounding was so quiet and peaceful. This island is so secluded with little population.

I noticed that this location has a distinctive and authentic culture that they have preserved over the years. First the archaic speech, which they have maintained due to their isolation, and cultural costumes worn during festivals. It was great experiencing the culture of the people.

I was able to attend some of the festivals and events held in this location and it was riveting. I attended the Emigrants' day celebrated the last Sunday of July and they began the tradition in 1985. I will bring my wife in the next visit.

My kids enjoyed sunbathing on the sun loungers and swimming in the crystal clear blue sea. The restaurants in the place make magical and tasty sushi which are my kids favourite. The island has its ways of charming your way to it.
