Сушац

The little island of Sušac is about 13 nautical miles away from the west coast of Lastovo. Its south-west coast is steep and harsh, while others are gentle and hilly. The island will fascinate you with its beauty as well as its intensive feeling of detachment from the rest of the world.

Vegetation is scarce because rainfall is extremely rare. This is most likely how it acquired its name. The sea around Sušac has a transparency of about 30 meters. There are many coves ideal for diving and swimming on the island.

At the highest point of the island, 100 meters high, on the cliffs, Emperor Franz Joseph I gave orders to build a lighthouse in 1879, which is still in use today.

You need two hours of sailing. Of course, there is no regular transport line or anything alike – but don’t give up, because tourists who really want to enjoy the pleasure, we will organize their trip. If you decide to take this trip, you will be amazed by the beauty of the island, but also the fact that there exist remains of a 4th century church and that 200 people lived on Sušac in the past.

The only permanent inhabitants on Sušac today are two lighthouse keepers.
