Lošinj Historical Underwater Park (Čikat)
In Čikat Bay, about 1 km from Mali Lošinj, an underwater trail of roughly 300 m shows 11 exhibits placed between 5 and 15 m deep. They include replica 16th-century and Venetian cannons, replica amphorae, 4th–5th-century anchors and Second World War machine guns. The star is a life-size replica of the bronze Apoxyomenos athlete, the ancient statue found off Lošinj that has become a symbol of the town.
