Unije

 

 

 

 


Unije is the second largest island of the archipelago, right after Lošinj. 

Unije lies a few sea miles west of Mali Lošinj. It is a small hilly island of limestone rock covered by lowgrowing Mediterranean vegetation.
The northern and the eastern side of the island are steep and rocky, covered by holm-oaks. The southern and the western side of the island, which are flatter, form a bay, whose clear waters mirror the fronts of the houses of the only settlement of the island.

The only settlement of the same name as the island  is a typical fishing village with an almost 800-metre-long beach.

The settlement itself is located around the western cove. Because of its openness, the port of Unije does not provide good shelter during stronger storms, especially from the west and northwest, so that fishing boats have to be pulled out onto the pebbly beach. 

The inhabitants have always been fishermen and winegrowers.  

It is an island of olive groves and fertile farmland. A spirit of ancient times can be felt everywhere. Remains of a Roman villa, fragments of tiles and bricks are evidence of early presence of man on the island. Having a tourist airfield, this beautiful island with lovely pebble beaches is within easy reach not only by sea. If you arrive on the island by your own boat, we suggest that you berth in the bay of Maraciol on the west side of the island, where the sea is deepest.

In the village itself there are restaurants and a postoffice. Accommodation (rooms and apartments) can be found in the characterful village houses with wide gabled fronts. 

The island is connected with the island of Lošinj by a regular ship service.
