Veli Lošinj: Luka Veli Losinj
Veli Lošinj straddles the shores of Luka Veli Lošinj on Lošinj Island in Kvarner Bay, and its sheltered position fostered a seafaring community. The town occupies the island’s southeastern coast, where closely built waterfront houses and quays follow the curve of the inlet. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Lošinj’s captains and shipowners made the island an important Adriatic maritime centre; that legacy is recorded at the Tower of Veli Lošinj, an old defensive tower that now houses a museum. The Parish Church of St Anthony the Hermit, with its tall campanile, rises above the historic core. Veli Lošinj belongs to the Cres-Lošinj archipelago, whose indented coasts and island channels shape this part of the northern Adriatic.

Veli Lošinj sits on a sheltered bay of Lošinj Island in Croatia’s Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, where the northern Adriatic meets a long, indented island shore. Once Lošinj’s principal port, the settlement retains a compact waterfront shaped by its seafaring past, with former captains’ houses behind the harbour. The Baroque parish church of St Anthony the Hermit is a prominent local landmark, while the nearby Blue World Institute researches and protects Adriatic marine life, including dolphins. Pine woods and Mediterranean vegetation extend beyond the centre into quiet coves. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Lošinj Island and the Kvarner Gulf.

The terrain of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County ranges from Adriatic islands and coastal bays in its southwest to forested highlands in Gorski Kotar to the northeast, giving the county a pronounced maritime-to-mountain character. Kvarner Bay links the port city of Rijeka with islands including Krk, Cres and Lošinj, while the Velebit Channel marks part of the coast farther south. Rijeka has long been Croatia’s principal seaport and was a European Capital of Culture in 2020. Inland, the wooded slopes and karst terrain of Gorski Kotar contrast sharply with the exposed shore and island settlements.

Croatia occupies a long Adriatic coastline in southeastern Europe. Its shore is broken into islands and sheltered coves, while the Dinaric Alps rise inland and the Danube forms part of its eastern border. Dubrovnik’s fortified old city faces the sea, and Split grew around Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman complex begun in the early fourth century. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Istrian olive groves, Zagreb and Slavonia’s vineyards reveal distinct regional identities.
