Underwater historical park in Croatia

In Croatia, there is a small island of Lošinj, which attracts lovers of relaxation away from the daily hustle and bustle. On its territory - in the city called Mali Losinj, the former health resort of the Habsburgs, there is a unique Underwater Historical Park. Its exhibits can only be viewed by diving underwater to a depth of about 15 meters. Would you like to visit there?

The underwater museum has only 11 exhibits, which are installed at a depth of 5 to 15 meters at a distance from each other, which in total gives a 300-meter route for their inspection.

And although the underwater museum has a small number of exhibits, and some of them show obvious signs of corrosion, this does not detract from the attractiveness and unique atmosphere of such an unusual underwater excursion. Impressions from it, as a rule, are so strong that after the end of the tour, our tourists begin to call Russia to share their impressions.
