The healing climate of the island of Lošinj
Medical tourism is a solution that combines leisure, entertainment, sightseeing and enjoying the tourist attractions of a given place with aspects aimed at maintaining or improving health. In order to improve their health, patients go to spas in Poland, but also decide to travel abroad to places such as Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Germany. Croatia and the local island of Lošinj can be another interesting proposition.
The island of Lošinj is situated in the northern Adriatic Sea in the Kvarner Bay and has a long history of a thriving wellness industry there.

The resulting microclimate is referred to as the Kvarner effect. What does it mean? The wind blowing from the mountains cleans the air and contributes to its high quality. In addition, the sea air is rich in salts that have a health-promoting effect on the respiratory system.
