About Otok Šćedro
Otok Šćedro is an island. Location: Municipality of Jelsa, Split-Dalmatia County. Population: 4.
Šćedro (Croatian pronunciation: [ʃtɕědro]) is a small Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea, lying 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) south of Hvar opposite the village of Zavala. It covers 8.37 km2 (3.23 sq mi) with a deeply indented north coast, forming well-sheltered anchorages such as Lovišće (Veli porat) and Mostir. The island's Croatian name is commonly said to derive from štedri (“bountiful/merciful”) in Old Slavic, referring to its protective coves. In antiquity it was known as Tauris (It. Tauricola/Torcola).
