Ilovik is best known within Croatia for its sheltered natural harbour in the channel between the island of Ilovik and nearby Sveti Petar. This small Adriatic settlement stands south of Lošinj in the Kvarner island group, where the protected passage has long provided anchorage for boats. Low land covered in Mediterranean vegetation, rather than dramatic relief, defines the island, while the waterfront village is its only settlement. Sveti Petar adds a historical note: the islet holds a cemetery and the remains of a Benedictine monastery.
