Hiking is also popular here because of the fantastic views atop the island's hills. Borik Mediterranean and Lanterna Grill are two of the best seaside restaurants in Mali Losinj by choice of the Zizoo team. Kredo and Oxygen are two local bars, with friendly atmospheres offering a relaxed break between sailing trips in the Mali Losinj area.
