Cikat Bay in Mali Losinj

 Losinj Island and its two main villages, Mali Losinj and Veli Losinj, are tremendously popular spots for a holiday combining beach, culture and mountains. The island is 31km long and separated from Cres Island by a narrow canal. The northwestern part of the island is steep and rocky, the eastern coast is flat and there are numerous coves in the southeastern part. Mali Losinj is the larger town and was an important shipbuilding centre. It is near beautiful Cikat Bay, blanketed with dense pine forests. Veli Losinj is smaller and notable for the pretty, baroque houses surrounding its little harbour. From Losinj, there are ferries to Susak, famous for its diving.

Getting to Losinj Island

     Mali Losinj is the main port of entry to Cres and Losinj Island. In the summer there's a direct passenger ferry from Mali Losinj to Venice. Otherwise, you can take the weekly Jadrolinija ferry from Zadar or one of the many daily ferry shuttles that connect Merag (on Cres Island) with Valbiska (on Krk Island) and drive down to Losinj. See more on getting to Cres Island. There are also bus connections to Rijeka (3 1/2 hours), Zagreb (6 1/2 hours), Ljubljana (6 hours) and Krk Island (Vrbiska, 2 1/2 hours).
