Arriving at Susak

Fifteen minutes before the ship arrives to Susak, people suddenly wake up and start dragging all their belongings toward the ship exit at bow. The ship is always welcomed by a crowd eagerly waiting on the dock.

In case of ship Unije (not so much with catamaran) when the ship finally lands the whole hell brakes loose: people simultaneously enter and exit the ship. Bags, boxes, construction iron, doors, watermelons, wine barrels, tractor spare parts, bricks and fridges start flying aboard and off board the ship.

The best thing to do at that moment is to sit and wait - after 10-15 minutes this whole epic scene comes to an end and you can walk out with no problems.

Now you are finally there, if you haven’t done it already you will probably need to find a place to stay. Like all the old coastal villages, Susak is also build seemingly without a plan, making it’s little streets a maze which might be puzzling for the first few days. Therefore it’s not a bad idea to have someone to pick you up at the dock.

Transporting stuff to upper village

The village of Susak can be divided into two parts: upper and the lower village. While the lower village is easily accessible, to get to the upper one you will have to climb a hundred stares. If you have a lot luggage it might be wise to hire a tractor to drive your belongings uphill. The fair is usually 100-150 kuna.
