Under seven square miles in size and mostly low-lying, the island supports only 85 inhabitants, swelled during the summer by tourists from the mainland and day trippers from Lošinj. There is just one settlement on the island, the eponymous village of Unije situated on the W coast at the head of a wide bay. Visiting yachts may moor up on the short ferry quay here if there is space or anchor off in the bay. On the E side of the island, there are, in addition, three good anchorages, the southernmost of which has mooring buoys for visitors. The shelter is poor in Unije bay in strong winds from any direction except E, whereas the anchorages are only exposed to SE winds. | ||

Latest revision as of 19:26, 8 March 2019
Unije Island lies off the mainland coast of Croatia, two miles W of the island of Lošinj. Under seven square miles in size and mostly low-lying, the island supports only 85 inhabitants, swelled during the summer by tourists from the mainland and day trippers from Lošinj. There is just one settlement on the island, the eponymous village of Unije situated on the W coast at the head of a wide bay. Visiting yachts may moor up on the short ferry quay here if there is space or anchor off in the bay. On the E side of the island, there are, in addition, three good anchorages, the southernmost of which has mooring buoys for visitors. The shelter is poor in Unije bay in strong winds from any direction except E, whereas the anchorages are only exposed to SE winds.
