Sights

on the Islands Cres & Lošinj

Cres is fascinated by the contrast of scenery, such as going through the hardwood forrest of the north and the pine forrest of the island in the middle of a seemingly endless dessert of stone.

The south of Cres is covered by evergreen macchia.

The numerous churches, palaces, city gates and towers, are leaving impressions and point to the old history. Whenever you move you come across the sign of this magical interaction. They are found in stone walls laboriously attached, hold those precious shrines, the vines and olive trees and in the mouth of the docile sheep, looking patiently between juniper, sage and thyme for their food.

Mali Lošinj

Mali Lošinj represents the biggest city in the Kvarner Bay. The origins of Mali Lošinj go back to the 12th century and it gradually developed into a seaport. At the end of the 19th century, the healing effect of the island climate was discovered and the island changed into a glamorous Austrian-Hungarian winter health resort. In modern Mali Lošinj you can find hospital, pharmacy, police station, postal office, shipyard, banks, numerous shops and inviting cafes along the harbor boardwalk. The newly designed plaza in front of the harbor invites you to linger.

Veli Lošinj

Veli Lošinj is situated 4 km south-east of Mali Lošinj. Directly at the mouth to the harbor, the impressive baroque parish church with its bell tower rises up. Sailors brought back the numerous exotic and unusual flowers from their distant travels.

Museum visits

Should you, contrary to expectations, experience a cloudy day on your vacation, you could use this time to go visit a museum in Cres (municipal museum in the Arsan Palace), Osor (archaeological collection, former bishop’s palace), Mali Lošinj (museum of sacral art, archaeological collection, cathedral) or Veli Lošinj (the tower – Kula). You can also visit the many churches and cloisters with their valuable treasures.

Boat trips

Take the time to visit the islands of Unije, Ilovik and Susak. It is a real pleasure to take a walk through the lucious vegetation of the island of Unije. Ilovik is known as flower island because almost every house is surrounded by roses, oleander and other beautiful flowers. A boat trip to the island of Susak will also be worth your time since this is the only island in the Adriatic Sea with a sandy beach.

A unique world of animals, birds and plants

190 species of bird, 1500 plants, sheep breeding, wine growing, medicinal herbs, dolphins, olive harvesting, honey – sage honey

Apoxyomenos

The bronze statue of the athlete Apoxyomenos dating back to 400 B.C will be permanently located on Mali Lošinj in 2013.
