A miniature stone town straddling the narrow canal between Cres and Lošinj. In Roman times it was a regional capital of 20,000 people; today a couple of hundred residents live among Renaissance palaces and a summer music festival.
“The canal between the two islands was cut by the Romans in the 1st century AD to shortcut the sea route.”
