Ferryboat

I think , the only way to reach the island is by ferryboat. I'm not quite sure, maybe there are other ships. But i'm sure, it's the shortest way, if you travel from Slovenia
It plies very frequent during the season. I think - each hour.

Mali Losijn street, Cres, Croatia

Main Street, Mali Losijn style....here you WALK, there is no access to cars. You may see an occassional motor bike that has managed to get around the barriers,but they are few and far in between. We enjoyed the walk from the car park to the waterfront, but can you imagine doing ALL you daily chores, be it the bank or the grocery shopping all by foot and then you have to carry everything in your hands. I think that some of it is great for tourists, but if you live there I wonder if you would like it so much??

The beach

The beach, Mali Losinj

 Daja123 Says:  This beach, is one of the rocky ones. It is reachable by boat, and is very peaceful, far from a noisy crowded beaches. We visited it one day, and I like it very much, but it is not the place I'd like to spent all the days of my vacations. 

The beach

The beach, Mali Losinj

 Daja123 Says:  This is one of very crowded beaches. But you don't need to stay here. You can easely find a secluded beach, to have some privacy. You can find different places to spend your time:rocky beach, sunny beach, beach in a shadow - whatever you like. 

Villa

Villa, Mali Losinj

 Daja123 Says:  This is another marvellus villa in the middle of green forest. It has its own swimming pool, very, very nice building indeed. Austrian and other European aristocracy spent their holidays there. 

Forest

Forest, Mali Losinj

 Daja123 Says:  As I mentioned before, island Mali Losinj is very green. If you compared it with other islands in Kvarner archipelage, you can find out, it is the most green of them. And that is one of the reasons, it is so atractive for tourists and other visitors. 

Seamew

Seamew, Mali Losinj

 Daja123 Says:  I like to get up early in the morning, and I enjoy walking ashore, when everything is still so quiet. I noticed this seamew and took a photo of him. This is one of my favorite photos I took so far.
