The island of Lošinj – island of vitality, island of dolphins, fragrant island. There are many names given to this (truly) special island, but the only way to experience its uniqueness in full is to see it for yourself. Otherwise, you won’t believe us. So, we invite you to visit it.
We have visited and can confirm that it is truly wonderful. The emerald green sea and the pine-scented air are just two of the many treasures this island has to offer. Every walk or bike ride becomes a form of therapy, which is why Lošinj is an ideal destination for an active vacation.
In this article, (in addition to our enthusiasm for the island 🤭), you will find practical tips and recommendations for your stay on Lošinj. So, without further ado – let’s get started.
You can reach Lošinj by car (or camper) with ferry from 2 directions: the island of Krk (Valbiska – Merag line) or Istria (Brestova – Porozina line). The journey takes about 20 minutes from either direction. A slightly less popular, and much longer (7-hour) ferry line is the one from Zadar.
Ferries run frequently, especially in the high season, so we recommend buying ticket online to avoid waiting. If you miss the ferry, each pier has a café or restaurant where you can eat or drink something while you wait for the next one.
Please note that there are 2 bridges on the island that open for vessels at certain times of the day. The Osor bridge opens at 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., and the Mali Lošinj bridge opens at 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. The wait can be up to 30 minutes, so plan accordingly, especially if you’re trying to catch a ferry.
Did you know that Veli Lošinj (picture on the left), despite its name “Veli” meaning “big”, is actually smaller than Mali (“little”) Lošinj?
Lošinj’s charm lies in nature, so its main attractions are those related to – nature. From viewpoints to gardens and forests, this fragrant island has it all.
Museum of Apoxyomenos – Located in the very center of Mali Lošinj. It is entirely dedicated to the statue of a young athlete that was found lying on the Lošinj seabed. Check ticket prices and opening hours here.
Lošinj’s Fragrant Garden – The garden contains more than 200 fragrant plant species, both wild and cultivated. There are also domestic animals, the most popular of which is Betty the donkey. There is also a small shop selling handicrafts and souvenirs. Check the opening hours here.
“Providenca” Viewpoint – It consists of an educational trail and a bar that serves local delicacies. The bar is very popular, so be sure to book a spot a few days in advance. The viewpoint offers a wonderful view of the Cres-Lošinj archipelago. We recommend coming before sunset because that’s when the atmosphere is truly special.
Blue World Institute – Lošinj is so beautiful that even dolphins have made it their home. There is a center in Veli Lošinj dedicated to their protection that organizes dolphin-watching tours. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of them from the beach, leisurely jumping in the distance (I once saw them from the beach Rovenska 😊).
Sea views on the Vitality Walk
To feel the real pulse of Lošinj, visit in the summer. Various shows and concerts take place in each of the island’s villages during this time, and you definitely won’t want to miss the folk festivals.
Veloselske ljetne užance – One such festival takes place in Veli Lošinj every year at the end of July. The program usually lasts 2 days. The main highlight is on the last day, when they organize Veli Lošinj’s version of the popular “alka“, called Veloselska Alka, as well as an interesting and extremely funny event – walking on a slippery pole. There is fish and wine, music, and a waterfront full of curious people.
Osor music evenings – A classical music festival that takes place in Osor every summer in July and August. The venue is the Osor Cathedral. The program is available here.
Folk festivals – These are related to religious events or patron saints. First, there is a mass, followed by an entertainment program. Some of the more famous festivals are: St. Gregory (Sv. Grgur) in Veli Lošinj on July 7, St. Mary Magdalene in Nerezine (July 22), and St. James’ Day (Sv. Jakov) in the village Sveti Jakov on July 25.

The combination of rocks and the deep blue sea leaves no one indifferent
On Lošinj, the focus is more on the sea than the beaches. Like the air, the sea has healing properties. Plus, its deep blue color will win you over at first sight.
