The mission: Your story in Mali Losinj
Lošinj lies in the Kvarner, where the sea can change very quickly. Calm water can turn rough, and a safe journey can suddenly become dangerous. On an island with little good land for farming, life was closely connected with this unpredictable sea.
For generations, Lošinj's sailors travelled far from home. Some were gone for months. Others for years.
Back on the island, their families watched the horizon and waited for them to return.
This is the story of The Island That Waited.
But waiting for sailors is only one of Lošinj's stories of waiting.
This quest is a journey through stories of hope, love, courage and endurance. Some waits lasted only a few moments. Others lasted years - or even centuries. Some ended with joy. Others did not end as expected.
As you walk through Mali Lošinj, you will discover just how many different things an island can wait for.
And perhaps, by the end, you will have your own answer to one question:
Is waiting really just doing nothing - or does it sometimes take more strength than we think?
