Sveti Marko & Stradioti
Sveti Marko Island, formerly known as Stradioti, is the largest island in the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro, covering an area of approximately 34 hectares. It is located near the town of Tivat and is surrounded by the clear turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea. The island is accessible only by water. Due to its unique location and rich history, Sveti Marko Island remains one of the most mysterious places in Montenegro.
The history of the island is rich and diverse. In the Middle Ages, it was known as Saint Gabriel Island, named after the Orthodox monastery that once stood there during the reign of the Nemanjić dynasty.
However, during Venetian rule, the island was renamed Stradioti, as it housed a military camp for mercenary soldiers of Greek origin (from the Greek word "stratiotis," meaning soldier). According to local legend, the gods chose this place as a refuge for honored warriors who were promised a peaceful life, working the land and planting olive trees as a symbol of redemption for their past sins. However, when they broke their vow and took up arms again, they angered the gods, who sent a great storm that destroyed all the buildings, leaving only the olive groves, which still cover the island today.
In the 20th century, the island was transformed into a tourist destination. In 1962, the elite Club Méditerranée "San Marco" resort was opened, attracting visitors from all over the world.

Around 300 Polynesian-style bungalows, scattered among lush greenery, created an atmosphere of seclusion and relaxation. At its peak, the resort was a favorite retreat for wealthy tourists, offering water sports, boat excursions, and first-class service.
However, after 1991, with the outbreak of wars in the former Yugoslavia, the resort was closed and gradually abandoned. Today, all that remains of the once-thriving tourist zone are ruins, overgrown with dense vegetation.
There are currently discussions about revitalizing the island and transforming it into a luxury resort complex with modern hotels and tourist infrastructure. However, for now, Sveti Marko Island remains a wild and unexplored corner of Montenegro, attracting travelers with its mysterious atmosphere and scenic views. Nevertheless, access to the island is strictly prohibited.
