A natural oasis and historic retreat on the Croatian island of Lošinj, known for its lush vegetation and century-old villas.
Cikat Bay is a natural area open to the public 24 hours a day, every day of the year. However, if you plan to visit specific facilities such as the Cikat wellness center or nearby restaurants, we recommend checking their individual opening hours.
Access to the bay and its beaches is completely free. You only need to pay if you decide to use additional services such as sunbed rental, water sports, or access to private areas such as spas or restaurants.
It depends on your interests. If you only want to enjoy the beach and the scenery, 2 to 3 hours are enough. But if you plan to hike along the nearby paths, swim, or explore the surroundings, you can easily spend half a day or more.
Cikat is known for its natural beauty and its past as a summer retreat for the Austrian aristocracy in the 19th century. In addition, the bay is surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation and is an example of the rich biodiversity of the island of Lošinj.
The best time is from May to September, when the weather is warm and perfect for swimming. If you prefer to avoid crowds, visit in June or September. To enjoy spectacular sunsets, we recommend going in the late afternoon.
Yes, the bay has accessible areas, including wooden walkways and adapted beach areas. However, some nearby hiking trails may have slopes. For more details, check with the local tourist office.
Nearby you will find the town of Mali Losinj, with its charming harbor and the Museum of Apoxyomenos. You can also visit St. Martin's Tower or take a boat trip to nearby islands such as Susak or Unije.
Bring comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and water. If you go in high season, arrive early to get a good spot on the beach. Do not miss the walk along the Cikat path to the lighthouse—the views are incredible!
