It is best to start with the <strong>lungomare that connects Mali to Veli Lo\u0161inj,<\/strong> no matter the departure point.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Paths in Rovenska fishing bay will also win your heart over in a second, but keep in mind that paths away from the sea can be more demanding and require a certain physical shape. Trust us &#8211; it is worth it, you will be awarded with breathtaking views and unspoiled nature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>One of the most demanding trails is the mountain transversal Osor\u0161\u0107ica, a 10 km long trail spreaded from Nerezine to Osor.

The island has a varied landscape with rocky and steep terrain on the northeast with flat bays, beaches and coves on the southeast.

It starts from Malolo\u0161injska riva towards Premuda, goes to the gas station (0.5 km) and continues straight ahead. At 1,270 km, turn right onto the macadam road and pass through the former military complex, then continue on by rocky road to Zlatna and Srebrna bay, over \u010cikat and Sunny bay to the Borik restaurant (11,2 km). After, turn left towards the hotel &#8220;Vespera&#8221; and at 11.8 km turn right. At 13.0 km less experienced cyclists can turn towards the center of Mali Lo\u0161inj. Others, turn right, at 13.6 km to the right and at 13.8 km again to the right. Go through the Kalvarija service area where the macadam road begins. At 15,2 km turn right and at 15,9 km continue straight on the slightly difficult macadam road towards Boni\u0107 House (21,7 km). You can continue cycling up to 22.3 km. There is a wonderful view of the island of Ilovik. Then, turn and return the same road to the asphalt road (30.2 km). At the intersection (31.0 km) turn left and then 31.8 km turn right to Versikovo Street. After 200 m go right and descend several stairs to the waterfront (32.3 km).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The trail is total <strong>32.3 km long and is considered to be of medium difficulty,<\/strong> so make sure to prepare yourself in advance for this tour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snorkeling_diving_on_Losinj\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #4a79e2;\">Snorkeling &amp; diving on Losinj<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another reason why the island of Lo\u0161inj should be on your to-visit list are the numerous underwater caves, raptures, reefs, and rich marine flora and fauna waiting for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are 3 diving centers on Lo\u0161inj which offer fantastic underwater activities for all generations:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DIVER LO\u0160INJ:<\/strong> The center is situated at the seaside, in the \u010cikat bay, surrounded by the centuries-old pine forest.<\/li>\r\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>SUB SEA SON<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>BENTHOS<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Water_sports_equipment\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #4a79e2;\"><strong>Water sports &amp; equipment<\/strong><\/span><b><br \/><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Other than diving and snorkeling, there are other interesting water sports and activities you can take up during your stay on Lo\u0161inj.

If you wish to explore the island and spend some time in different bays, take some hiking or cycling tours of the island, relax and enjoy the nature and landscape, then you could stay for a week. If you don\u2019t have that much time, you can always take a day trip to Mali or Veli Lo\u0161inj with an early morning catamaran and check out the old town, grab some quick lunch and spend your day on one of the beaches before rounding up your day with a cocktail in the sunset and go back with an evening departure. If you wish to experience the Lo\u0161inj nightlife as well, you can extend your visit with an overnight stay and leave the island the following day.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"faq-question-1625823680239\" class=\"schema-faq-section\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>When is the best time to visit Lo\u0161inj?<\/strong><\/strong>\r\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>The best time is the summer<\/strong>, because you can spend your days on the beach, relaxing, swimming and sunbathing. The days are long and it is really warm, plus the parties are at their peak. The downside is that the island is packed during the summertime since everyone is visiting then. If you wish to avoid the crowds or you are not that much into partying, or you don\u2019t like the heat that much and would like to go to the beach without getting sunburnt, then you should <strong>consider the postseason<\/strong>. <strong>September is one of the best months<\/strong>; the air temperature is milder and the sea is still quite warm. <strong>October is good for hiking and cycling enthusiasts<\/strong> since it is not that hot anymore so you can spend most of the day exploring the island. If you are more keen to travel in preseason, then May and early June are good months regarding the air temperature but the sea might still not be that warm, with the temperature of about 18-20 degrees.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Often unfairly overlooked, the Croatian island of Losinj is located in the northern Adriatic, more precisely in the Kvarner Gulf.
