It's roughly 13 miles (21 kilometers) from Kvarner and is home to the Veli Losinj Harbor and St Anthony's Church.

Get some transportation head out to Rab, a regional center, situated approximately 9 miles (14 kilometers) from Kvarner. This bigger city offers a number of points of interest, such as Pudarica Beach, Rab Harbor and Frkanj Beach. Lopar Beach and Kampor Beach are a number of other attractions definitely worth visiting for those who have time to spare.

Travelers seeking out places for peace and reflection, will enjoy visiting the region's monasteries. History lovers will enjoy the area's fine old castles, war relics and monuments and historic bridges.

If you are after a break from seeing the sights, why not check out the local watersports? Canoeing and swimming are both well-established here. Pack your camera and join a knowledgeable guide for one of the guided nature walks, winery tours and city walking tours.

As your adventure finishes up, you'll be sure to bid the region a teary "Zbogom".
