Unije Island

On the eastern coast of Unije there are three coves - Maračol, Podkujni and Vognišća. All of these lovely bays have cut deep into the island of Unije. Of them, Maračol gives the best cover from the bora. Of course, coming from Pomer we could not take cover in these bays, but for those who think the bora is too strong while they are sailing around that part of the coast of Lošinj that Osorčica rises above, these coves represent a certain refuge. The bora, though strong, blows in the direction of the points, and right behind the points we will find good shelter. But if you have a choice about which to sail into, then the choice is for Maračol
This bay still hides traces of military supply dumps. Since the army always chooses the best shelters, the number of sailors who trust their safety to this cove need not surprise us. The crush is the greater if there is rough weather. The end of the cove has a bridge built over it. The bottom is sandy, and in the middle of the bay the anchor will touch the bed at 7 to 9 metres.

A few miles west of the Lošinj Island we find the island Unije, created from the emerging limestones covered with low Mediterranean vegetation. On the northwestern side of the island the shore is steep. Towards south it slowly lowers, thus creating a bay. The only settlement was founded on the shores, where the only fertile land can be found, which together with fish fed the islanders. In the last couple of years a small airport has been built to improve the islands tourist offer. Enjoy the natural beauties of the islands beaches and the enchanting sea. On the east side of the island, the coast is more indented and the Maraciol bay is the safest place to anchor your ship. There are two restaurants, post office, private rooms and apartments in the typical houses facing the sea.
