Unije | Holiday homes on an unique island

Unije is an island in Kvarner Bay in the west of Croatia. It is the most western populated island in Croatia. It lies just west off of the northwest coast of the island of Losinj. A mild slope around the bay of Unije is the home of the only settlement on the island. That southern part of the western coast is shallow and easily accessible. The rest of the island is more dramatic but as much beautiful. There are deep bays in the northern part of the eastern coast that are perfect for a boat trip even through there are dirt roads leading to them. The carbon cliffs are the dramatic part of this splendid island and uniqueness of the area. There is a special ecological value to the island, since it is a resting place for numerous migrating bird species. The rich domestic flora and fauna hide some endemic species and you get the feeling you are walking through a nature reserve.
