Wind your way between the sunny islands of the Kvarner region, enjoying its rich tradition and cultural heritage.
Mali Lošinj, the biggest settlement on the island of Lošinj and the starting point of most of the cruises, is showing its naval tradition round every corner. Mali Lošinj treasured the statue of Apoxiomen beneath the waves for centuries. It was recently discovered and restored and this attractive statue of an ancient Greek athlete from the 4th century BC is now on display in a museum dedicated to it.
The medieval town of Rab decorated by its four bell towers, is resonant with the traces left by Kvarner's eventful past in its streets. Rab is also home to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Cathedral, one of the most valuable Romanesque churches in Croatia, and many other precious monuments testifying to its long history and rich heritage.
