Mali Losinj is a town, port and tourist resort on the island of Losinj, situated on the south-eastern part of a large and well-protected bay in Primorje-Gorski Kotar county in Croatia. The beginnings of Mali Lošinj most certainly date back to the l2th century, maybe earlier, but there is a lack of sufficient reliable data. What is known, however, is that about a dozen Croatian families came to the island of Lošinj from Hungary, fleeing from the Mongols, and they settled in its eastern bay, St. Martin, on the slopes of the hill above the bay. Since the primary economic activity of the Croat settlers was cattle-raising and agriculture, their houses were built above fertile gardens (the area called Gravot). Today Mali Losinj is the tourist centre on the island. As well as the outstanding natural beauty of the area and beaches there are many international events that take place each year that draw people to Mali Losinj from all over the world.
