Sukosan is a town and small harbor in a vast bay (Luka Sukosan) in the heart of the Zadar Riviera. Concerning its location it lays between the 3 most remarkable cities of the Riviera. On the south from Zadar (10km), next to Bibinje and on the north from Biogard (15km). It's population is 4402.

It's name, Sukosan or Sanctus Casanus, was mentioned for the first time in a legal document in the year 1289, but the village itself is much older.

Today Sukosan spreads around the entire spacious bay, and as one of the the first founded villages it is just in the heart of the present developed tourist paradise.

On an artificially made small islet of the Sukosan lagoon, Zadar’s archbishop Matheo Valaresso built a summer palace. This palace represents a most significant example of the pastorally architecture of the 15th century. After turbulent war centuries and several earthquakes which hit this region, the palace almost vanished. Only three walls remained and emerge out from the sea  reminding us of the former palace,  which give the most impressive view during the summer solstice, when the sun sets down precisely between two walls.
Inside of the former village walls, Sukosan is meshed by the narrow streets surrounded by the old stone-built houses which bear the signs of the former turbulent centuries. In the central part of this medieval village there is a parish church, erected probably in the 11th century, assumed to get it's present aspect in the 17th century, dedicated to the protector of Sukosan - Saint Casanus.

Especially picturesque is the square Gornja vrata surrounded by the old, renovated villas giving places for charming restaurants and a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. During the summer season, various culture and entertaining performances take place on this square.

Due to its numerous restaurants and taverns, Sukosan is being considered as a place of wine and song!

Sukosan cherishes the old customs. They are linked to the feast of St. Kasijan, the patron saint of Sukosan.

During the carnival season, "luzari", masks typical only for Sukosan, represent a special attraction.
