Losinj

Losinj has a mild Mediterranean climate, natural beauty, sunny days, and fresh sea air. As a result, the local tourist board has dubbed it “The Island of Vitality.” It’s located in Kvarner Bay and is joined to the neighboring island of Cres by a swing bridge. Closeby is Opatija, Rab Island, and Senj.

Places to see

  • Losinj has several settlements, including Nerezine, Sveti Jakov, Ćunski, Artatore, Mali Lošinj, and Veli Lošinj. Each town has something different to offer, so depending on your itinerary, plan to visit as many as possible.
  • In the 19th century, the main settlement, Mali Losinj, was a wealthy trading port and shipbuilding center. Tourism started here in the late 19th century. The neighboring smaller town of Veli Losinj lies a pleasant 30-minute away.

Things to do

  • Explore the main town. Stroll around the deep sheltered harbor, filled with boats and rimmed by old villas. Then walk through pinewoods to Cikat Bay for beaches and watersports facilities.
  • Visit the Museum of Apoxyomenos. Here you can see the Ancient Greek bronze statue of Apoxyomenos, which was pulled from the sea in 1996.
