Enjoy the scent of the sea and the hospitality of the local people. The Cres and Lošinj archipelago in Kvarner Bay is the largest group of islands in the Adriatic, made up of 36 islands, islets and reefs. The Town of Mali Lošinj includes the southern part of the island of Cres, the island of Lošinj and a group of smaller islands and islets (Susak, Ilovik, Unije, Male Srakane and Vele Srakane etc.). The island climate is very pleasant all the year round. Century-old pine forests and a variety of plant and animal species are the distinctive features of these islands. When we add 120 years of tourist tradition, the result is an ideal holiday area. Lošinj’s sights include numerous churches and works of art. The antique, approximately 2000-year-old bronze statue of the Greek athlete Apoxyiomenos, found in the Lošinj sea, stands out among them. One of the facts that we point out to with particular pleasure is that the area around the island of Lošinj is the habitat of the last large group of bottlenose dolphins (tursiops truncatus) in the Northern Adriatic, which is indicative of an exceptional level of cleanness of the sea. These pages provide basic information 4|5 NATURAL FEATURES on Lošinj and the surrounding area: the historical sights, cultural events and entertainment during the summer, as well as the gastronomy, accommodation, sports and recreation facilities. Enjoy the mild Mediterranean climate, the sea, the sun and the beauty of the green landscape hiking, cycling and walking. Discover the magnificent marine world diving, swimming and sailing. Discover and experience the charm of this unique island, which delights all of its visitors year after year. The Cres and Lošinj archipelago, partly crossed by the 45o latitude, lies in the middle of the northern hemisphere. A greater part of the archipelago is situated within the subtropical zone of the southern half of the northern hemisphere, which influences the climate and the life-style of the people. The whole coastline abounds in attractive bays and coves, ideal for swimming and sunbathing. Lošinj’s highest hill is the wooded hill of Osoršćica (588 m), which is some 10 kilometres long and stretches along the northern part of the island. On the island of Cres, which is generally higher than Lošinj, the highest hill is Sis (650 m). Cres has a freshwater lake, which is a natural phenomenon. It is needless to say that so much drinking water on a karst island represents a real treasure. The Lošinj archipelago includes the island of Lošinj (74.68 km²), a group of smaller islands, Unije ( 16.77 km²), Ilovik (5.88 km²), Susak (3.76 km²), Vele Srakane (1.17 km²), as well as a number of small uninhabited islets peaceful oases, where one can spend the day relaxing and swimming. The main characteristics of the climate are mild winter and not too hot summer. The island lies at a sufficient distance from the mainland, so that the climate is mainly influenced by the sea. The sea temperatures are higher than the air temperatures during the autumn, winter and the first part of spring. The predominantly maritime character of the climate is also reflected in its effect on summer sultriness. Mali Lošinj, namely, has a considerably smaller number of days with a maximum air temperature higher than 25°C. Owing to the annual average insolation of approx. 2,580 hours and a very low average number of cloudy days Lošinj ranks among the sunniest areas in Europe. Characteristics of the micro-climate of Lošinj: • Average air temperature during the summer 23.5 °C • Average air temperature during the winter 7.9 °C • 2580 sunny hours in a year • Humidity 62% - 73% • Pressure 1006 - 1014 hPa • On average 4 days a year of fog with visibility less then 1 km • Average wind speed force 3 • Maximum sea temperature 23.6 °C • Minimum sea temperature 11.8 °C NATURAL FEATURES The mild climate of the island of Lošinj is reflected in a great variety of plant species. Some 1,100 plant species, among which as many as 230 medicinal and edible wild-growing plants, have been identified. Particularly interesting are some plant species that are not typical of this latitude, such as lemon, date, banana, eucalyptus, cedar and sequoia. Parts of natural heritage are protected as forest parks. The bestknown forest park of Čikat was planted by Ambroz Haračić, professor of the famous Lošinj Nautical School, at the end of the 19th century. A great variety of exotic plants, which can be seen in Lošinj gardens, have been brought from other parts of the world by seamen and sea captains. In Veli Lošinj’s park, established by the Hapsburg Archduke Charles Stephen, there are some 200 different species of trees from all parts of the world. It is significant that there are no poisonous snakes on the Lošinj archipelago. There are just lizards and non-poisonous snakes. The island of Lošinj is the habitat of geckos, small lizards of the gekkonidae family. Geckos are protected species. Killing geckos is forbidden and punished by law. Jakov Matunci, an eleven-year-old from Mali Lošinj, was placed third in the World Competition in Environmental Protection Volvo Adventure in Goteborg, Sweden, for his project of 6|7 HISTORY protection of geckos, small Mediterranean lizards found on most Adriatic islands, in May 2004. There is small game, as well as big game on the island - fallow deer and moufflons, which have been colonized in this area. There is a lot of feathered game. The birds of prey found in this area include hawks, sparrow-hawks, falcons and giant griffon vultures. Because of the small number of preserved individuals griffon vultures have been protected by law as an endangered species. The most common domestic animals found in this area are sheep. The sheep on the rocky pastures in the northern part of the island of Lošinj present an idyllic picture. The local waters of the archipelago abound in various fish, shellfish and molluscs, such as cuttle-fish, squid and octopus. Unlike some waters of the neighbouring countries, where they have become extinct, dolphins are frequent visitors of this area, playful and ready to make contact with humans. In ancient times the Cres and Lošinj archipelago was known as the Apsyrtides. The name is derived from that of the mythical hero Apsyrtus. Once upon a time there was a king who had a golden fleece. Jason, a brave young man, got hold of the fleece with cunning and the help of the king’s daughter Medea, who was a witch. Jason took to flight by his ship the Argo with his friends the Argonauts. The king’s son Apsyrtus went in pursuit of them by his ship. Medea tricked Apsyrtus into negotiations and Jason killed him from ambush. Medea cut up his dead body and threw his limbs into the sea, where they turned into Apsyrtus’ islands – the Apsyrtides. In times of old the islands of Cres and Lošinj used be a whole. The islands were later separated by an artificial canal at Osor to satisfy the needs of sea trade on the so-called Amber Route. Historical changes have hit these islands like sea waves. Millennia have passed like a storm. The presence of small and big nations that have conquered this area has left permanent traces of their material culture, brought with them or created on this soil. The oldest island settlements (Lubenice, Osor, Beli) have more than 4000 years of history. The Roman town of Osor was the seat of the bishopric in the 9th century. Lošinj, which had been almost uninhabited until the middle of the 13th century, developed into a leading regional maritime power by the 19th century. The town of Lošinj became the second most important port in the Adriatic, immediately after Trieste. The inhabitants of Lošinj were not only known for their skillfulness in constructing sailing ships but they were also known as the best seamen in the Mediterranean. The architectural appearance of the centre of Mali Lošinj, which has remained almost the same until the present day, was determined in that period. The beginnings of tourism date back to 1885, when health tourism began to develop on the island. On 21st January 1885 the first tourist was registered. The first hotel in Mali Lošinj, named Vindobona, was built in 1887. Owing to the exceptional characteristics of the climate Lošinj was proclaimed a climatic health resort by a decree of the Ministry of Health of the AustrianHungarian Monarchy in 1892. Soon it became a popular holiday destination of the AustrianHungarian aristocracy, who built numerous villas and summer residences on the island. Lošinj is still a famous climatic health resort suitable for treating diseases of the respiratory tract and allergies. The island offers ideal conditions for a physical and psychological recovery, particularly during the winter, spring and autumn. The local hotels offer weekend and week’s anti-stress and wellness programmes. DOLPHINS The Lošinj Dolphin Reserve was established in the waters of Cres and Lošinj - the first protected marine area for dolphins in the Mediterranean. The area of Cres and Lošinj is one of the healthiest and the bestpreserved areas in the Northern Adriatic. In 1987 a research team of the Tethys Institute started long-term research of the biology, ecology and social structure of the community of bottlenose dolphins found in the waters around the Cres and Lošinj islands. This group of dolphins is now one of the best researched groups of dolphins in the Mediterranean. The number of individuals is estimated at some 120. This group of dolphins is very small, isolated and vulnerable. Dolphins used to have a reputation for stealing fish and destroying fishermen’s nets. Rewards for killing dolphins used to be offered. Now we look at them as intelligent, sophisticated animals, which live in complex communities and represent an essential part of the marine ecological system. Observing them in their natural environment is an unforgettable experience. By participating in the action "Adopt a dolphin” you can support research and educational activities in this field and help protect the dolphins and their habitat. Your contribution will serve to sensitize 8|9 OSORŠĆICA AND FOOTPATHS the communitiy at both the local and state level through activities such as "Dolphin Day” and thematic lectures in schools and kindergartens, as well as to promote the environmental protection of these islands. "Dolphin Day” is an annual event that has taken place in Veli Lošinj since 1993 on the first Saturday in August. Information: Lošinj’s Marine Education Centre . Kaštel 24, 51551 Veli Lošinj. tel. | +385 51 604 666. e-mail | info@plavi-svijet.org. web | www.plavi-svijet.org Owing to its mild climate, throughout the year you can go walking and mountaineering over no less than 220 km of pathways and mountain trails laid out over the five islands. The trails are varied, ranging from easy to mediumdifficult and very demanding hiking trails. The hills of Osoršćica (Nerezine) and St. John (Veli Lošinj) are found very attractive by hikers. The footpaths along the sea-shore are ideal for long walks. If you would like to experience one of the loveliest panoramic views of the whole Lošinj archipelago, climb Osoršćica, one of the most beautiful mountains on the Adriatic islands! Osoršćica stretches along the northern part of the island of Lošinj. The highest peak Televrin lies at a height of 588 m. From the peak of Sv. Mikul, which is somewhat lower (557 m), on clear days a magnificent panoramic view opens up. It stretches over the whole Lošinj archipelago, the islands of Cres, Rab, Pag, Silba, the coastline of Istrian Peninsula and the mountain massifs of Gorski Kotar and Velebit. Osoršćica can be climbed by footpaths from both Osor and Nerezine. The old traditional footpath from Nerezine was created for the Austrian heir-to-thethrone, the Hapsburg Archduke Rudolph. He climbed Osoršćica in 1887. Osoršćica is intersected by numerous cycling and hiking trails. It is also full of caves. The best-known is the cave of St Gaudentius, which lies on the eastern side below the peak. It is only 3 m long. Farther west, below the peak of Televrin, within a range of big cliffs, is the Big Cave. This cave, which was inhabited by prehistoric man, is 23 m long. You can refresh yourself in the mountain hut, open to visitors daily in the summer months, otherwise on weekends.

Ivan) in a small cove on the southeastern side of the island of Lošinj. It is interesting to mention that in the beginning Veli Lošinj (or Velo Selo, meaning Big Village), used to be bigger than Mali Lošinj (or Malo Selo, meaning Small Village), but Mali Lošinj grew in size due to its position and the development of seafaring. Now the names of the two settlements denote the opposite of the actual size of the inhabited areas. Veli Lošinj was proclaimed the most beautiful spot on the Croatian Adriatic for 2008.

At the end of the 19th century, when Mali Lošinj developed into a seafaring town, it became the centre of the archipelago. The traces of the maritime past and the influence of sea captains are still felt in the town of Mali Lošinj and its surroundings. The discovery of the therapeutic properties of the island climate and the development of tourism as a new economic branch, marked the beginning of a new era in Mali Lošinj’s history.
