Festival LOSINAVA - Sailing the world for centuries is dedicated to the rich maritime and shipbuilding tradition of the island of Lošinj.
During this Festival, everyone interested will get an insight into the rich maritime heritage of Lošinj, history will be revived while sticking to the historical facts, and Lošinj will be promoted through tourism and marketing activities as the destination of the "revived maritime history" hitherto unknown to the wider public.
