Veli Lošinj is the oldest city on the island Lošinj. The city, located in the countryside and divided by a vineyard, has 2 harbor bays. In the harbor is a speed limit of 15 knots. Bora is dangerous and the port should be then abandoned; it is well protected from S, E and W winds. Even with bora-free weather, a seemingly strong NE wind can blow especially at night. On the east pier are yachts at water depths up to 3 m "in the pack". Electricity connections are available, a water connection is being planned. West pier can put on yachts up to a depth of 1.3 m. Many restaurants, cafes and shops are also on site.

Veli Losinj ist wirklich ein Bilderbuchtstädtchen, dessen Besuch sich wahrlich lohnt.
What I didn't like:
Schon bei leichter bis mittlerer Bora steht im Hafen enormer Schwell und man sollte den Hafen möglichst bald verlassen. Dennoch sind in der Saison die Liegeplätze rar.
Schon bei relativ leichten Winden aus Nord steht deutlicher Schwell im Hafen. Beim Liegen im Päckchen dann unbedingt auf versetzte Masten achten. Nimmt der Nordwind zu, muss der Hafen rechtzeitig verlassen werden.
