Old lighthouse from the 19th century is out of use, but it is still nice place to enjoy sunset and old maritime architecture.
Župa sv. Andrije
Built in the 17th century, it is the dominant landmark of the village with nice white bell tower.
Great cliffs
Big cliffs of Unije are high cliffs on western side of the island from where is wonderful view of the Adriatic sea. Take a nice walk before sunset towards cliffs, around one hour walk from village.
Although the island has mostly low peaks (highest peak is 139 m), network of hiking paths and walking trails cross all around the island and offers numerous nice walks and hikes with beautiful view on coves on the eastern side of the island and cliffs on the western side. Nice view is also provided toward nearby islands Cres, Lošinj, Srakane and Susak.
Piesak plaža
Although the name of the beach is "Pijesak" (sand in Croatian language), it is actually pebble stone beach with sand inside the sea. Not so shallow as popular beach on Susak island, but very nice for families and others who enjoy easy access to sea. On other sides of the island there are plenty of rocky beaches with amazingly clear sea, also good for diving and snorkeling.
Very nice restaurant with fair prices right next to ferry port with various choice of meat and fish dishes, but also very good offer of drinks and coffee. Possible payment by credit card. Very friendly staff.
Direct catamaran from Rijeka operated by Jadrolinija and boat from Mali Lošinj (twice a day) operated by Jadrolinija are most common ways to get to mainland.
Read in the guideThe only way to get around is on foot. Island has well maintained walking/hiking trails with very nice views.
