The island of Lošinj used to be connected to the island of Cres but the Romans dug a canal between the two islands thus making a passageway for boats and ships. Around the island of Lošinj there are several smaller islands such as Unije, Ilovik and Susak which mostly consists of sand. The largest place on the island of Lošinj is Mali Lošinj famous for its beautiful beaches and pine trees. One can also see dolphins in the Lošinj archipelago where there is a reservation for these beautiful animals. There is also a day dedicated to dolphins celebrated in August. In smaller places on the island such as Nerezine, Ćunski and St. Jakov one can relax in the peace and quiet.
