Picture gazing out over the sparkling waters of the Adriatic Sea, breathing in pure, salt-infused air and the fragrance of majestic pine trees silhouetted against an azure sky. Then imagine the thousands of species of herbs and flowers that cover the hillsides and captivate the senses with the tantalizing scents of myrtle, lavender, laurel, lemon, orange, rosemary, eucalyptus, and oleander.
This is the island of Lošinj, Croatia, known as the Island of Vitality.
Lošinj isn’t the easiest place to get to, which makes it even more attractive to travellers looking for less congested areas where there is scant traffic and little need for long lineups. Here, you can sit at the water’s edge taking in the golden sunset and have the most delectable fresh food and local wines without having to wait for a prime table—all the tables have a perfect view. You can stroll leisurely through charming villages that have been lost in time and feel like you belong.
