Island Lošinj

Climate beneficial for respiratory illnesses

In 1885, Dr. Conrad Clar came to the island with his sick son. The boy fully recovered after only three weeks. This gave Mali Lošinj and Veli Lošinj a public image of destinations with climatic conditions suitable for treatment of respiratory diseases.

Thanks to all this, Mali Lošinj and Veli Lošinj were pronounced climate resorts in 1892 and that is when the tourist development of Lošinj began.
