Punta Križa, Settlement in Mali Lošinj, Croatia.
Punta Križa is a small settlement on the island of Mali Lošinj facing the Adriatic Sea, known for its quiet coastal position. The community sits along rocky coastlines with several sheltered coves that provide natural access to the water.
The settlement developed as a traditional fishing community relying on the sea as its main source of livelihood. These maritime roots continue to shape the region's character and explain the community's deep connection to the water.
Fishing remains woven into daily life here, with locals continuing methods passed down through families over centuries. You notice this heritage simply by observing the harbor activity and how the community rhythm follows the sea.
To visit the settlement, take the ferry to Mali Lošinj island and follow the roads along the coast. The best time is during warmer months when weather is stable and trails to the coves are easy to walk.
Hiking trails from the settlement lead to hidden coves where the water is so clear you can see marine life from the surface. These tucked-away spots stay quiet because most visitors head to better-known beaches instead.
