Sveti Andrija, Coastal settlement in Komiža, Croatia.
Sveti Andrija is a settlement on an island in the Adriatic Sea, located a short boat ride from Komiža. The island features a rocky shoreline with several underwater caves that attract divers and boaters.
The island was once home to a fishing community, with the population at its height in the mid-1900s. Today the number of residents has dwindled dramatically, leaving it largely abandoned.
Local residents refer to the island as 'the Saint', maintaining traditional maritime connections with the nearby town of Komiža, located 9 nautical miles away.
The island is accessible only by boat, best reached by organized water taxi from Komiža. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear for rocky shores and be prepared for rough water conditions in bad weather.
Beneath the waves lies a tunnel system leading to underwater caves that shelter Mediterranean monk seals and other rare marine creatures. This submerged world makes diving here particularly rewarding for marine enthusiasts.
