Ilovik

Ilovik, the island of flowers south of Lošinj, faces the islet of Sveti Petar across a narrow channel with a buoy field: one of Kvarner's best-known overnight stops.

Ilovik is the southernmost inhabited island of the Lošinj archipelago and the last stop before the crossing to Silba and the Zadar islands. The village stretches along the channel, and opposite it, on Sveti Petar, are the remains of a Benedictine monastery and the village cemetery.

The channel between the two islands is about two and a half kilometres long and almost entirely covered with buoys, and anchoring in it is not allowed. A noticeable current runs through the channel, so boats on the buoys often lie against the wind, and jugo drives a swell into it. The village has a shop, a bakery and a few konobas.

For boaters

The buoy field in the Ilovik - Sveti Petar channel and a short quay off the village. In the south of the island is the sandy bay of Paržine, good for a daytime swim.
