Susak
Susak is a unique island in the Adriatic both in terms of its origin and appearance.The island appears on nautical charts very early, first under the Roman name Sansacus or Sansegus. The first mention of the island in written sources dates back to the middle of the 9th century, when the Saracens and the Venetians clashed in its waters.Most inhabitants live on the island of Susak after the end of II. world war. Since 1985, Susak has been celebrating Emigrants' Day, the last Sunday in July.The first settlement, whose origins date back to Roman times, originated on a fertile plateau and is called Gornje selo, while Donje selo, located in the port, is more recent, built during the heyday of viticulture in the late 19th century.Due to its isolation, Susak has preserved its archaic speech (protected as a movable cultural asset), specific customs and picturesque costumes.

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.

It took me half a day to walk round the whole island on the beach, it was a nice stroll, i then went to the market and bought nice artefacts for my souvenir collection, the hotels were also very good and had nice hospitality, it was magnificent

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.

This place had the most beautiful view and amazing historical sights. The view from the rooftop of my hotel was breathtaking. I was able to see the whole town from here. The historical sights were well kept and interesting to see.

I enjoyed touring this place. I sent to the beach where I relaxed and enjoyed sitting in the cool shades of pine trees. Being a book lover, I read my books while sipping cold delicious home made juice and cookies. I watched the excellent sunset from here. It was amazing.
