In Mali Losinj one feels the breath of maritime captains. If you happen to be a guest in one of these captain's homes, ask the owner to show you old family photographs, furniture brought from England, vases and porcelain from China or Japan and so on. The spirit of Losinj's seamanship is present in such houses. Today's seamen, faithful to the old tradition, untiringly bring old and new objects from afar. In the summer months, when about 10,000 tourists flood Mali Losinj, the seaman's spirit falls into second place. This is when the town's newer character as a tourist resort is revealed. Numerous restaurants, cafes, tourists agencies, excursion boats and other facilities tempt and invite you to visit them. You may say that there is something for every taste, all you have to do is make a wish ... and pay later.
