Camp Cikat On Mali Losinj

Stony Beach At Cikat Mali Losinj
Camp Cikat on Mali Losinj (Little Losinj) may be the biggest camp on the island but it is not all that big at all.Not big for the numerous tourists that want to enjoy this remote piece of land in the middle of the Adriatic sea.





 
Athough it is located in the middle of the Mali Losinj island, the camp is still the southernmost camping place around that you can get to easily by car.

And just to get to the island is an adventure in itself!Here's what you do. You need to get to Rijeka, Croatia which is the biggest city around. Then you take the main road to Pula which takes you south by the sea, first through the famous city of Opatija, well known for its old hotels catering for at least the past century to the Balkan's rich and famous. Pass also Lovran and since the weather will be nice you will see on your right the slopes of Ucka, the highest mountain around. Keep on the oceanfront road until you hit Brestova.

Brestova-Parazina is the ferry you need to take to get to the island of Cres which is one of the biggest islands in the Adriatic. It is a long, north-south elongated island which you must drive across to get to your final destination, Mali Losinj.

Best to get to Brestova early in the day because there is a big crowd of tourists from Germany, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, and recently from Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, and many other countries that want to enjoy their summer in an unspoiled paradise.

If you come too late in the day, you will spend hours upon hours in the line of cars and trailers patiently waiting and moving ahead every time the ferry lets another load of cars on. It goes slowly, I tell you. But it must be worthy since so many people are determined to make it to the island!
