Ilovik Map Poster & Print

Ilovik lies at the southern end of the Lošinj group in the Kvarner Gulf. From above it reads as a compact, irregular island, fringed with small coves and scrub-covered slopes. Its only settlement sits on the northeast shore, facing a slim channel. Across that channel lies the islet of Sveti Petar, close enough that the two shapes almost lock together on the page.

The channel between Ilovik and Sveti Petar is the island's defining line. It works as a sheltered anchorage, and on a map it shows up as a thin band of water running between two coastlines. The village houses line the water on one side. Sveti Petar, across the channel, holds the island's cemetery, so residents cross by boat for burials, a detail that suits a place this small.

Ilovik is often called the island of flowers, a name taken from the oleanders, roses and eucalyptus planted around village gardens. None of that colour survives in a monochrome print, but the outline does. An Ilovik map poster shows the shoreline, the paths and the channel with nothing else in the way, which makes a place measured in a few square kilometres surprisingly legible.
