The islands of Ilovik and Sveti Petar are located south of the island Losinj, separated by the strait, Ilovacka vrata. The only village located on the island of Ilovik (44 28 N, 14 33 E) is also called Ilovik. The circumference of the the island is 15.4 km, and it occupies an area of 5.8 km2. The coast is accessible from all sides with many secluded bays. The largest bay with a sandy beach is Parzine, located on the south-eastern part of the island. Ilovik and Sveti Petar are separated by a canal which is 2.5 km long and 300 m wide. The location of the canal offers a natural barrier from most winds, except partially from "jugo" (south wind). The convenient location of this harbor makes it a favorite rest stop between the northern and southern parts of the Adriatic. In only a few hours, you can reach Istra, Krk, Rab, Pag, Kornati and other mid-dalmatian destinations. In the town you will find a well-stocked store, post office, currency exchange office and several restaurants.
