Svetac, Remote island in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia.
The island extends over 4.19 square kilometers, with a coastline of 11,973 meters and reaches an elevation of 316 meters at its peak.
The Zanki family settled on Svetac in the mid-18th century and remained the primary inhabitants until the end of the 20th century.
The island contains Jokotovi Cave, where the first Zanki settlers established themselves as resin collectors for ship maintenance.
The absence of natural protected bays and public transportation makes access to Svetac challenging, requiring private boat arrangements.
Svetac serves as a nesting ground for 40 to 80 pairs of Eleonora's falcons within the Croatian Offshore Islands Important Bird Area.
