Enjoy the fragrant island of hospitable hosts and uni que natural treasures! Lošinj was recognised as one of the first holiday destinations on the Adriatic as early as the 19th century. Because of the climate and abundant vegetation, as well as top quality air and sea water, we continue to build Lošinj's holiday story in the 21st century! ABOUT LOŠINJ You will realise that on every step of the way we try to justify the trust that has been given to us in the past. Many rewards and recognitions in both Croatia and abroad show it the best. We wish you a pleasant stay on our archipelago and we are sure you will take many nice memories with you, and hopefully wish to return soon to the island of vitality! The island of Lošinj is a part of CresLošinj archipelago in the Kvarner Bay. It comprises 36 islands, islets and rocks and its size makes it the greatest archipelago of the Adriatic. The town of Mali Lošinj spans over the island of Lošinj, south part of the island of Cres, and islands of Susak, Unije, Ilovik, Male i Vele Srakane, as well as some islets. It comprises a total of 14 settlements: Belej, Ćunski, Ilovik, Male Srakane, Mali Lošinj, Nerezine, Osor, Punta Križa, Susak, Sveti Jakov, Unije, Ustrine, Vele Srakane and Veli Lošinj. Mali Lošinj is located on the south side of Lošinj Bay and it counts about 7000 inhabitants making it the greatest insular town in Croatia. It is also an important nautical destination because the island is located on the waterway between Istria and Dalmatia. On 11th November, the locals celebrate St. Martin, the patron saint of Mali Lošinj which also marks the day of the town. The origins of Mali Lošinj date back in the 12th century when 12 Croatian families arrived to the island. They settled on the east side of the island in St. Martin's Bay and their primary economy was based on animal husbandry and farming. With time they discovered fishing, seafaring, and shipbuilding. However, it wasn't until the 19th century that the golden era of the island began. Thanks to the sea and seafaring, and later tourism, Lošinj turned a new page in its history.

It was discovered by a Belgian tourist in 1996 in the deep blue sea between the islands of Vele Orijule and Lošinj. It is a unique ancient bronze statue from either 2nd or 1st century B.C. by an unknown author, and its home is set to be Kvarner Palace in Mali Lošinj. 4|5 NATURAL CHARACTERISTICS AND... POSITION In the ancient times the islands of Cres and Lošinj were one island with common name Apsyrtides according to the legend of the Argonauts. The Romans dug through the island at its narrowest point, near Osor, in order to facilitate access to the open sea. Today there is a bridge connecting Cres and Lošinj. AREA By its size, Lošinj is one of the biggest islands in the Adriatic. Its total area is 74.37 km². RELIEF Relief of our island is very dynamic. The north of the island is made of calcareous cliffs, and the mountain of Osoršćica with its peak Televrin of 588 m overlooks the island. The middle part of Lošinj is marked by a well-indented coast, while the south, just like the north part, is a bit higher. The coast of Lošinj is considered one of the most indented in Croatia and it is almost 113 km long. Among many bays, the biggest and the most protected is Augusta Bay, the port of Mali Lošinj. We are also proud to say that it is one of the most protected natural ports in the Adriatic and favourite among sailors. 6|7 NATURAL BEAUTIES AND... CLIMATE Our archipelago is one of the sunniest parts of Europe due to high insolation and low cloudiness.

Thanks to him and the sailors who brought all kinds of exotic plants to the island, the green scenery has become priceless for the development of Lošinj. Info: Town of Mali Lošinj Tourism Office.

Walking by the sea, you soak the scent of pines and aerosol in the air, the sun is caressing your face and tingling your eyes with its warm colours, and a school of dolphins plays in the sea before you. The memory of falling in love with these beautiful creatures is a memory you can take home with you. Friendship of Lošinj and dolphins started in the 80s when a research on good dolphins in the Adriatic was started. Soon there was a need to organise an institute for maritime research and conservation so in 1999 Blue World was set up in Veli Lošinj. WE RECOMMEND The main goal of the Blue World is maritime research and conservation and education on the need for protection of marine ecosystem and endangered species. In 2003 "Lošinj maritime educational centre" was opened, first in the Adriatic. Many guests have recognised its importance and started volunteering in the Centre to support protection of this marine mammal. You can also contribute to the research and protection of dolphins by having an eco-friendly approach and supporting environmental protection. In addition, you can join the campaign "Adopt a Dolphin". If you wold like to adopt, you can do it personally in Veli Lošinj or on their website. . Join us! Campaign for volunteers of the Blue World hopes to attract motivated people who can and want to spend two weeks in Veli Lošinj and participate actively in everyday tasks and field work. For more information please have a look at their website www.plavi-svijet.org. The Blue World offers a package to those who adopt and the yearly magazine Akvamarin.

MALI LOŠINJ Malo selo, the original name of Mali Lošinj was fist mentioned in 1398. At that time, the main economy of the locals were animal husbandry and farming. After centuries of agriculture, at the end of the 19th century mali lošinj expanded with 11 shipyards. Great sailors of lošinj now had a better merchant fleet than rijeka, trieste, and even venice. Because of that, lošinj developed greatly into the centre of the archipelago. Recent history of the island and the town was turbulent and marked by occupation of the neighbouring countries. Today mali lošinj is administrative and cultural centre of the island. The main industry is tourism which could have been anticipated from a town that was acknowledged as a climate sanatorium in the last century. Top quality of air and sea, rich biodiversity, islands, coves and beaches, paths and local cuisine are just some of the characteristics of our island's tourism. Its geomorphology has proven to be very attractive, meaning that it takes only 15 minutes on foot to reach each side of the island. Accommodation is possible in hotels, hostels, villas, campsites, in private apartments and rooms, and in marinas. * How to reach us – page 51 Don't miss • St. Martin's church in eponymous bay from 1450.

WALKING AROUND THE ISLAND VELI LOŠINJ A picturesque village of colourful façades is located in a narrow bay on the southeast part of Lošinj. Numerous villas with splendid gardens built in the front row along the waterside are its characteristics. Although the meaning of the name would make anyone think that it is bigger than Mali Lošinj, it has around 1000 inhabitants. Still, the history tells us that it really used to be bigger than Malo selo. Captains, ship builders and the rich lived in Veli Lošinj, and the nobles spent their winters here. The gardens are home to more than 80 kinds of plants, while in the archduke Carl Stephen's residence, today's Sanatorium, we can find more than 200 kinds. On St. John's hill overlooking the village there is a beautiful belvedere. The little port of Rovenska attracts with its beautiful beach and Mediterranean feel. Veli Lošinj received "Blue Flower" award in 2008 for the best well-kept town in the Adriatic.

The agriculture has been the main economy, but ancient fertile gardens and vineyards have been replaced by olive trees. Apart from agriculture and fishing, tourism has picked up in recent years. The town's biggest attraction is "torać", the only remaining oil mill on the island built in 1897. However, there is also an important spiritual retreat centre Betanija for pilgrims from all over the world.

Nerezine experienced tourism bloom in the 19th century thanks to Austro-Hungarian heir to the throne, Rudolf Habsburg. Once farmers, the recent history sees the locals turn towards the sea – navigation, ship-building and fishing, as well as tourism, so it's no wonder that a regatta of wooden pasaras (type of boat) was held here in 1920. However, it was disrupted by the war in 1942. At the initiative of sailing club Jugo from Mali Lošinj the regatta was organised again in 1954 and along with other water games, it ran until 1965. The tradition still lives so there is a regatta every year in September where wooden pasaras compete in three categories - pasaras; guc, gajeta and leut, and batela. Everyone's invited, of course! This is why Nerezine is the best choice for those who want a mix of urban and original. Accommodation is possible in two resorts, two campsites, two family-run hotels, and in private apartments. * How to reach us – page 51 Don't miss • Franciscan monastery from the 16th century with renaissance three-floor tower bell. • Parish church of Our Lady of Good Health from 1877.

The peak of St. Nicholas (Mikula) with a chapel and a breathtaking view. WALKING AROUND THE ISLAND OSOR – MUSEUM CITY Located on the southwest side of the island of Cres, Osor was from ancient times of extreme importance for the locals and sailors. During that time it was called "Apsoros". The two islands met here, and today they are divided into two. It is a picturesque little city with a long history of over 4,000 years. Its walls date from different periods. You can see its turbulent past at every step so it is not without reason that we say Osor is an open-air museum. There is a plenty of evidence to witness settlement in prehistoric period. However, Osor expanded economically in ancient times and it was a very important transit point. In municipium of that time (autonomous city council) there were about 5,000 inhabitants. Compared to today's numbers, it would be as if there were 50,000 people in Osor! Now Osor is a tourist spot that attracts visitors with rich history and monuments, natural beauties, and unique musical manifestation "Osor Musical Evenings", an event that has been held every year in summer since 1976.

It is believed that the island was dug and separated by the Romans. The archipelago got its name from Apsyrt, sin of king Eet from Colchis. The king had a Golden Fleece that Jason wanted. Medea, the king's daughter and Apsyrt's sister, fell in love with Jason and with her help he got hold of the treasure. He took it to his ship Argo and together with the Argonauts he fled before the king's son. After a long voyage, Apsyrt caught up with kidnappers but Medea tricked him into negotiation, and Jason killed him. Medea then cut her brother's body into pieces and threw them into the sea. It is believed that the islands Apsyrtides grew from Apsyrt's body parts. St. Gaudentius, patron saint of Osor, was a Benedictine monk and bishop of Osor from 1018-1042. Following a dispute between nobles of Osor and the Vatican, he was banished to Osoršćica, a mountain overlooking the town where he spent a year in a dark cave full of snakes. He begged for Lord's mercy to free our archipelago of poisonous snakes forever. So it was. The legend aside, there are no poisonous snakes on the island, but St. Gausentius' cave still remains on the way to Televrin, the peak of Osoršćica. Interestingly, Gaudentius fled from the island to Rome where he died in 1044. And then, one morning about a hundred years later, church bells rang on their own. A coffin was found floating in the sea below the walls and St. Gaudentius' body was in it. A little church was built to his name and he was proclaimed the patron saint of Osor. WALKING AROUND THE ISLAND PUNTA KRIŽA Located on the island of Cres, Punta Križa is a settlement and the name for the southernmost part of this island and it counts about 15 hamlets. Although the economy was based on sheep husbandry, today the locals are active in tourism. Bearing in mind the richness of fauna, it is no wonder that hunting has picked up in the last couple of years. . However, this is not the only strongpoint of this destination. Punta Križa offers a rich biodiversity so it is a perfect choice for those needing peace, adventure, and true Mediterranean scenery. Accommodation can be found in private apartments, a campsite and a naturalist camp. * How to reach us – page 51 Don't miss • The church of St. Anthony from the 15th century. • Romanesque church of St. Andrew in the cemetery built on the grounds of an older sacral building.

The archipelago is our treasure. Let's preserve it, love it, an be proud of it! FERTILE UNIJE The island of Unije, located east from the island of Lošinj, was populated in the ancient times to which pre-Roman citadels, wells and villas witness. The name of the island derives from Greek word "heneios" and Latin"nia" which means field. The island was known during the Roman Empire for its fertile ground and olives. Also, it is characterised by a well-preserved Mediterranean architecture. Although second largest island of Lošinj archipelago, there are no cars, hotels or campsites. Accommodation is possible in private apartments only. * How to reach us – page 51 Don't miss • A big kamenica (stone vessel for storing olive oil) from 1676 with glagolitic inscription. • Church of St. Andrew from 1911 with bell tower from 1857. • Gallery and olive oil mill "Torać" SANDY SUSAK The island of Susak is unique in the Adriatic because of many things. The island occurred very early on the nautical charts, first under the Roman name of “Sansacus” ili “Sansegus”, which probably derives from Greek "sampsychon" meaning marjoram. Geologically it is different from other Croatian islands because it was formed from the sand deposited on a limestone plate. It is interesting that the island has two villages – Gornje (upper) and Donje (lower). The traces of Gornje selo go back to the Roman times, and Donje selo was built later, during the bloom of wine growing by the late 19th century. It is interesting to mention that during the 60s of the 20th century a great number of people left the island for the United States, a total of 1395 people emigrated. It is estimated that today, and mostly in the state of New Jersey, around 2500 people from Susak live there. Because of that, since 1985 we celebrate Immigrants' Day on the last Sunday of July. Susak used to be known for its indigenous wine sort – trojišćina and its skilled sailors. The biggest treasure of today's Susak is the archaic language protected as cultural heritage. Apart from that, there are specific customs and beautiful folk costume in lively colours. There are no cars on the island, hotels or campsites. Accommodation is possible in private apartments only. * How to reach us – page 51 24 | 25 Try it! You probably weren't aware that Susak is a well-known natural sanatorium. Austrian physician Ernest Mayerhofer introduced the therapeutic benefits of the island to Europeans. In the early 20th century, Susak was famous for the treatment of children with respiratory difficulties, allergies, infectious and skin diseases. However, from the second half of the 20th century until this day, the island has become popular with couples fighting infertility. The reason for this are beneficial properties of the sand in Bok Bay. We like to believe that some of them have found a solution to their problems on Susak and finally made their dream come true to become parents. Don't miss • Benedictine abbey of St. Nicholas in Gornje selo from the 11th century. "Veli Bouh" (Big God) crucifix from the 12th century can be found inside. The legend says that the sea brought it to the island, the Benedictines put it in the church and it was never again taken out. • Cemetery in Gornje selo – a quiet oasis in summer when the sun lights the tombstones ILOVIK – ISLAND OF FLOWERS AND LONGEVITY Located south from the island of Lošinj, Ilovik is known in the first hand because of the flowers and adult eucalyptus trees. A sea channel divides the island from the islet of St. Peter that is also specific. This little island is known for Benedictine abbey of St. Peter from the 11th century, but its cemetery also. Ilovik doesn't have its own cemetery but it is located on St. Peter. It is surrounded by walls thought to be remains of an old Benedictine monastery. In recent times, Ilovik has been recognised in Croatia as a place of oldest inhabitants – the life expectancy here is 95 years and it was supported by Dan Buettner, National Geographic reporter who worked on his research for seven years. The earliest records of the island's name "Neumae Insulae"date back in 1071. This island is favourite with sailors, but with other guests searching for peace and pristine nature. There are no cars on the island, hotels or campsites. Accommodation is possible in private apartments only. * How to reach us – page 51 WHERE TO SAIL?

To ensure a comfortable stay and make sure you are abiding by the law, we kindly ask you to check whether you have been registered for the whole of your stay, from the day you arrive to the day you leave. All providers of accommodation services are obliged to register their guests, to possess the certificate of registration for each guest in any commercial accommodation facilities (hotels, apartment-hotels, tourist settlements, apartments, camps, boarding houses, lodgings for the night, hostels, private accommodation, marinas, etc.) and to present the same at the request of the guest. Checking this is important and necessary particularly if you are staying in private accommodation so as to facilitate quality service, ensure your personal safety and to disable illegal operation of those hosts who are not registered to offer accommodation. We care about your opinion In order to find out what we do well and what needs to be fixed or done differently, we engaged a mystery shopping agency in 2011 to check the quality of the service on our island. Mystery shoppers sent e-mails, telephoned and visited accommodation facilities, agencies, shops and other facilities to get an impression about the amount of information and kindness that the hosts provide. We are proud to announce that with marks of 83% we are above Croatian level. However, this result has set us a difficult task to be even better in the future in providing services to our guests. Please feel welcome to come and share your opinion confidentially because we care about it! Info: Town of Mali Lošinj Tourism Office.

The skipper of a vessel which is brought into Croatia by road, or which is moored in a port or in some other approved location within the Republic of Croatia, is obliged to obtain the official vignette (sticker) and to verify the list of crew members and passengers (to retain the services of a skipper if required), in the Harbour Master’s Office, or a branch office, prior to setting out to sea. The vignette (sticker) must be obtained for a vessel of 3 m or more in length, as well as a vessel less than 3 m in length if its total propulsion power is 5 kW or more. The official vignette (sticker) is not obligatory for a vessel using only oars/paddles, regardless of its length (such as a kayak, beach canoe, pedal-boat or similar). The official vignette (sticker) must be displayed in a visible location on the vessel. Its period of validity is one year from the date of issue. All foreigners entering the Republic of Croatia on a foreign vessel intended for sports and recreation, and who intend to use those vessels for accommodation, are obliged to register their residence in the Republic of Croatia only in the port or harbour in which they undergo border control. If a foreigner crosses the State border at one of the road border crossings, and is transporting the vessel they intend to reside in, the marina where the vessel will be launched checks the registration. If the vessel is launched in a small port, the visitor is obliged to register personally their residence at the police station in authority of the territory. If you are an owner or user of the vessel longer than 5 m with built-in bunks, you need to pay flat rate amount of sojourn tax. The sojourn tax is paid at the Harbour Master's Office or branch office for 8, 15, 30 or 90 days, or for a year. The receipt must be kept on the vessel! The skipper of a vessel due to sail out of the Republic of Croatia is under the must to pass border control at one of the ports open to international traffic and verify the list of crew members and passengers at the Harbour Master’s Office or its branch. Having fulfilled his or her obligations, the skipper of a vessel must leave the coastal waters and the territorial waters of the Republic of Croatia by the shortest possible route.

A little village of stone houses was impossible to conquer during centuries. Today it represents a true gem of rural architecture. The original settlement was mentioned for the first time in prehistoric time, so Lubenice, just like Osor, nurtures a history of over 4,000 years and love towards classical music. Traditionally, Lubenice Musical Evenings are held here in summer. It is definitely a place that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime! Valun A quiet fishing village located in Valun Bay. It is by far best known for Valun tablet, one of the oldest glagolitic monuments in Croatia, older than Baška tablet. It originated in the 11th century and is written in glagolitics and Latin. It was a part of a tombstone found at the local cemetery of the church of St. Mark. It is kept in sacristy in St. Mary's church in Valun. And finally, Valun is famous for excellent food, especially fish so taste some during your visit! Cres The town of Cres is located on the western coast of the north part of the island in a well-protected bay. It is the administrative centre of the island that comprises 26 settlements. Its history dates 42 | 43 IN CASE YOU NEED IT back to prehistoric times, but there are also plenty of monuments from other eras, especially the ancient times and renaissance. Cres is the birthplace of a great Croatian philosopher Frane Petrić and very often host to many sailing championships. The town is surrounded by olive grooves and cherry trees, and it is famous for its city walls, three town gates and city clock. Vrana A little village located inland used to be only a postal office but today it is interesting because Vrana Lake – the source of fresh water for the archipelago – is located beneath it. The lake is 5.5 km long and 1.5 km wide and rich in fresh-water fish. The locals are extremely pleased with the cleanness of the water. Since the lake is natural, and the source is yet to be found, there are many theories how the water comes to the island, but everyone prefers the legend. The lake is protected so walking down to its shores is not allowed without a licence. Beli It is one of the oldest settlements on Cres. It is located on a hill on the eastern coast of the north part of the island on the site of a prehistoric hill-fort. Beli is well known for its rich history supported by many findings, and also for its ecocentre "Caput Insulae" that promotes protection of Vulture Griffons and island's biodiversity. You will be charmed by the pebbled beach under 130 m high cliffs. Excellent choice for a trip! IMPORTANT TELEPHONE NUMBERS .
