Sveti Marko Island

Sveti Marko Island

Sveti Marko (Formerly known as Stradioti) is an island on the Adriatic Sea, in the Montenegrin municipality of Tivat.

About the island

Sveti Marko Island is located near the town of Tivat, in the Bay of Kotor. It is aligned with the Tivat's other island, Prevlaka Island.

The island is entirely covered with greenery. In 1962, a tourist settlement was built there, with 500 Tahiti-style houses, without water supply or electricity. It was managed by Club Med, and until the Yugoslav wars, it was a very popular tourist destination. Today, it is mostly abandoned, making the island a somewhat exotic and mysterious destination.
