Svetac

About

Sveti Andrija (Croatian pronunciation: [svȇtī ǎndrija], meaning "Saint Andrew"), often called Svetac (Croatian pronunciation: [sʋěːtat͡s], meaning "saint"), is an island in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea. Svetac is situated 14 nautical miles (26 km) from Komiža (a town on the island of Vis). It is uninhabited, although it used to have permanent residents. Approximately 300 meters off the southwest coast of the island there is the islet of Kamnik, and further on the open sea there is the volcanic island called Jabuka. About 2.5 kilometres (1.3 nautical miles) to the southeast there is the small volcanic island of Brusnik.
