Travel notes for Otok Unije
From Wikivoyage
Unije is in Kvarner. Unije Island is part of the Cres-Lošinj archipelago west of the island Lošinj. Unije is the third largest island of the archipelago, specific for its flat fertile ground near the only settlement on the island. There are no cars on the island.
Understand+
Because of fertile ground and important location on the sea routes from Istria and Italy to Kvarner bay, the island has been inhabited since Roman times. Today, the island has only one settlement on the western bay with one shop, three restaurants and church. There are fewer than 100 permanent citizens, mostly older ages.
