The climate of Losinj is very mild, due to its forests among other things, so it has developed into a health resort. Many of Europe's crowned heads came here in search of health and vitality, among them the Austrian Emperor, Franz Joseph, Prince Rudolph, and the Austrian heir-apparent Franz Ferdinand. So the building of summer residences started as early as the last century. The oldest and most attractive tourist destination on Losinj is Cikat. Losinj's special feature is a colony of dolphins, and there are some 150 registered so far.
Dolphins are one of the best indicators of the clean sea.
