Island of Losinj


Losinj is part of the most beautiful archipelago that form the region of Kvarner; the Cres-Losinj archipelago, which was in the Antiquity called APSYRTIDES.

Losinj is one of the sunniest islands in Europe with its 2600 hours of pure sunshine in a year. There are no long rainy days: if it rains, it is a shower-like rain, and as for the snow, well, there is hardly any. The coast of Losinj is 545 km long and very indented. It counts 4 islands, 14 small islands and a great number of reefs. It abounds in bigger and smaller sandy bays and pebbly beaches, but also in beaches with smoother or sharp cliffs. They can be reached through narrow roads which lead through centenary pine forests and olive gardens, offering a beautiful panoramic view at Losinj and the islands of its archipelago.

The island of Losinj is a developed tourist centre with long tradition in private and hotel accommodation. Its people and its tourist agencies are famous for hospitality and professionalism which reflect an experience in tourism that can be traced as far back as 1880.


The island is well connected to the mainland through the ferry-boat network. In this way one can reach several harbours: Brestova (Istria), Valbiska (the island of Krk), Zadar, Pula, and Rijeka. Throughout summer, Losinj has a direct connection to Venice twice a week.
