Island of Losinj

The Island of Losinj is part of the Cres-Lošinj island group, which constitutes the western segment of the Kvarner's islands inside the Kvarner Bay. The Kvarner Bay together with that of Trieste forms the most inland point of the Mediterranean Sea.
The islands of this archipelago form the natural bridge between Istria and Dalmatia. The biggest island of the archipelago is Lošinj.
The archipelago of Lošinj comprises the Island of Lošinj and smaller islands: Unije, Ilovik, Susak, Vele Srakane, and a series of smaller uninhabited islands.
Many, many years ago the island of Cres and Lošinj where one, only after the channel of Osor was excavated, probably during the Roman period, two islands emerged. Today a bridge connects the islands and in the geographically trafficable sense they form one unit.
