Island of vitality!

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 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 km), a group of smaller islands, Unije (16.77 km), Ilovik (5.88 km), Susak (3.76 km), Vele Srakane (1.17 km), 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.
