Introduction to Susak Island, Croatia

Susak Island is a unique island in the Croatian Adriatic Sea, located in the strait between the islands of Krk and Rab, with an area of only 3.8 square kilometers. The island is famous for its world-rare sandstone geological formations, with steep terraces, the highest point of which is 98 meters above sea level, and its red soil landscape contrasting with the turquoise blue water.

People and History

The only village on the island, Susak, has preserved its traditions for more than 2,000 years, with fewer than a hundred inhabitants who live from fishing, viticulture and tourism. One of the most unique features is that the women of the island still wear traditional hand-embroidered dresses in bright colors and geometric patterns, which have become part of Croatia's intangible cultural heritage. There are Neolithic remains and archaeological finds from the Roman period on the island.

Tourist highlights

Visitors can visit the Folklore Museum, St. Mary's Church (built in the 16th century) and explore the island's grape terraces and fig orchards on foot. In the summer, it is possible to participate in traditional fishing and hunting activities and to taste the specialty wine "Susak Bebic". The island is not accessible by car and is connected to the mainland only by ferry, preserving perfectly the untouched tranquility of the Mediterranean.

Overview of Sao Tome and Principe (note on "Java")

São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
