Mali Losinj Guide

The town and port of Mali Losinj is located in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County on the island of Losinj in the west of Croatia. Due to its warm climate, new hotels and resorts and lovely beaches the town and surrounding area is popular with tourists. Located on the south east coast of Losinj island, the town lies at the bottom of a V-shaped harbour and has a number of 19th century former sea captains' houses that line the seafront of the pretty town. Despite the large numbers of tourists in the city, it has managed to retain some of its charm and atmosphere. The city's resort hotels are mainly located outside of the town. The region began to gain in popularity in the 19th century when the wealthy from Vienna and Budapest started to build villas and luxurious hotels around the Cikat. Some of these buildings still remain but most of the current crop of hotels are modern buildings, surrounded by pine forests that cover the coves and the region's pretty beaches.

From the town's port, ferries depart to other destinations in Croatia and to Italy, including Venice.
