Economy of Otok Susak


JuteVilla
For much of the island’s history, Susak’s inhabitants supported themselves by making wine, farming, and fishing. The islanders produced a significant quantity of wine and grappa between 1936 and 1969 when a cooperative wine cellar aided in the production and manufacturing of the beverages. At one time, there was also a fish cannery on the island.

By the mid-1960s, Susak had become almost completely depopulated with its main town in virtual ruin.

Today, tourism is Susak’s main industry
