Otok Susak

Susak je mali otok u sjevernom Jadranu, poznat po plitkim pješčanim uvalama, predivnoj narodnoj nošnji i žućkastoj prašini od koje je otok načinjen. Upravo ta prašina ga čini jedinstvenim - čak i iskusni moreplovci će se složiti da u cijelom Mediteranu nema sličnog otoka!

 

Zbog svoje loše povezanosti sa kopnom, te nepostojanje organiziranog smještaja, Susak je daleko izvan dometa radara turističkih agencija, pa su čak najjači tour-operateri u potpunost nesvjesni njegovog postojanja!

 

Na otoku nema cesta, nema automobila, nema bučnih noćnih klubova - samo kilometri prašnjavih stazica koje preko travnatih kaskada selo spajaju sa udaljenim uvalicama. Tijekom zime na otoku živi samo mali broj suščana jer je većina emigrirala u Ameriku. Dijalekt kojim se služe toliko je različit da ga ne razumiju čak niti stanovnici susjednih otoka!

Island of Susak

Susak is a small island located in the north of the warm Adriatic sea (Mediterranean). It’s famous for it’s sandy beaches, beautiful folk costumes and yellow dust from which the island is made. It is this yellow dust which makes Susak unique -  even the most experienced seamen will agree there’s no similar island in the whole Mediterranean!

 

Getting to Susak is not so easy task, while finding accommodation is even tougher. These two facts have kept the island of the touristic agencies radars. Most of them are totally unaware of it’s existance, which is a good thing since it keeps crowds off the island.

 

On the island there’re no roads, noisy night clubs - there are only miles of dusty paths running across sand cascades, which connect the only village with coves on the other side of the island. During winter island is practically deserted. The only 200 people who live there throughout the year are the people who stayed behind during the big emigration wave to the United States. On Susak a special dialect is spoken, which is so different from standard Croatian that nobody in Croatia understands it.
