It has area of 7.11 km2 (2.75 sq mi)[1] and population of 189,[2] in the eponymous single settlement on the island. The island is composed of hills divided by transversal and longitudinal valleys where grass and sparse pine forests grow.[3] Grapes and olives are cultivated there.[4] The main industries are agriculture, fishing and tourism.[4] Automobiles are not allowed on the island.
In 14th and 15th century the island belonged to noble families from Šibenik.[3] During Ottoman conquests in 16th and 17th century, the island is inhabited by refugees from mainland.[3] Around that time, a Saint Peter's church was built on the island.[3]
