Cres and Losinj are the next two islands after Krk, reachable only by a ferry boat (or your own boat!).
Mali Losinj is among those places with the most sunny days per year in Europe.
One of the special attractions is a very unusual natural phenomenon: the freshwater lake of Vrana (Vransko jezero) on the island of Cres (5.75 sq. km). The surface level of this lake is above sea level, and its bottom is 74 meters below sea level. This is one of the last habitats of a very rare bird, the 'whitehearled vulture'.
Along with the beauty, Cres and Losinj have to offer you an amazingly clean sea and air, tranquility, and an insight into the history ( protected relics, churches, cathedrals)!
Losinj's special feature is a colony of dolphins, and there are some 150 registered so far. Dolphins are one of the best indicators of the clean sea and Losinj is the first one in the Mediterranean to be proclaimed the dolphin reservation.
During Summer, in the month of July and August, "The Evenings of Osor" (Osorske veceri) are organised, filled with concerts, street parties, art happenings,...
The climate of Losinj is very mild, due to its forests among other things, so it has developed into a health resort; specialised in Astma and other respiratory sicknesses.
So, having in mind all this, what you can expect from Cres and Losinj is beautiful nature (pine forests to protect you from the Sun and for some help you with breathing, clean sea and quiet, empty beaches), great weather, delicious food and tranquility; all it takes to fill in your empty batteries from the hectic life in the cities , smog, people and worries.
Pros: peace, beauty, nature
Cons: If you're searching for party, it's NOT a place 4u
