Ćunski sits in the southern part of Lošinj beside the island’s main road and close to the airport, but its most distinctive side appears once you leave the asphalt for the western coves. The official Lošinj walking guide traces paths toward Studenčić, Liski, Liska Slatina, Cape Kurila, Zabodarski and Artatore. From the turn-off beyond Ćunski, the descent to Liski takes about 20 minutes with roughly 50 metres of elevation change; farther on, the route crosses 108-metre Stan hill and reaches the pebble shore of Liska Slatina. Cape Kurila carries a lighthouse of the same name, while the exposed western side opens views toward Susak, Male and Vele Srakane, and Unije. For a specific meal stop, Restaurant Artatore has operated since 1972 in a pine setting about 50 metres from the coast. Public transport reaches Ćunski too: an Arriva itinerary on 5 July 2026 ran from Rijeka via Malinska, arriving in Ćunski at 13:49. The official walking map also links Ćunski with Kandija, Zabodarski and Artatore, allowing the western coast to be explored in stages.
Ćunski lies in southern Lošinj beside the island’s main road, opening westward into a network of coves and rough tracks. The official Lošinj guide leads from the village toward Studenčić and Liski, then across 108-metre Stan hill toward Liska Slatina, Cape Kurila, Zabodarski and Artatore. This geography gives Ćunski a very different feel from Mali Lošinj: instead of an urban waterfront, the key features are footpaths, dry-stone countryside and small coves. At Cape Kurila, where a lighthouse of the same name stands, the view opens across the Adriatic toward Susak, Male and Vele Srakane, and Unije.

Cape Kurila is the clearest named landmark on the walking network west of Ćunski: the Kurila lighthouse stands on the cape and is reached along rough tracks and footpaths across Ćunsko polje and Liska Slatina. The attraction lies as much in its setting as in the structure itself, because this stretch of coast opens views toward Susak, Male and Vele Srakane, and Unije. The official footpath map also marks Studenčić, Liski, Liska Slatina, Zabodarski and Artatore, allowing the lighthouse to become part of a longer circular walk rather than a single isolated stop.
West of Ćunski, the official guide and footpath map identify several small coastal stops. Liski is the first cove on the route from the village, reached after a descent of about 20 minutes. Continuing across Stan hill leads to Liska Slatina, where the guide specifically describes a pebble beach. Farther along the route are Zabodarski and the Artatore shoreline, allowing swimming to be combined with a longer walk rather than a single car-based beach visit. The ground between coves includes macadam, karst and footpaths, so visiting several bathing spots in one day calls for sturdy footwear between swims.

For a full walking day, leave Ćunski toward the Liski turn-off; the official route description gives about 20 minutes of descent and roughly 50 metres of elevation change to the cove. Continue across 108-metre Stan hill toward Liska Slatina, then follow rough tracks toward Cape Kurila and its lighthouse. This section opens views toward Susak, Male and Vele Srakane, and Unije. The return can be extended through Zabodarski, Kandija and Artatore. Surfaces include macadam and karst, and the tourist board explicitly discourages cycling on part of the route, so this particular circuit is better planned as a walk rather than a bicycle ride.
For walking around Ćunski, the official Mali Lošinj Tourist Board map is particularly useful because it marks walking times, vehicle tracks, footpaths and coastal links toward Liski, Liska Slatina, Kurila and Artatore. Expect macadam and karst underfoot; the official route description does not recommend cycling on part of the approach to Liski because of the terrain. If arriving by public transport, check your exact date in Arriva’s system: an example for 5 July 2026 from Rijeka involved a transfer in Malinska and reached Ćunski at 13:49. For a meal near the route, Restaurant Artatore is at Artatore 132.
Ćunski sits on Lošinj’s main road and is therefore accessible by road from the direction of Cres and Mali Lošinj. Arriva’s journey planner for 5 July 2026 showed a trip from Rijeka departing at 10:40, changing in Malinska and arriving in Ćunski at 13:49. For local exploration, the tourist board describes a turn from the main road toward the airport, followed after roughly 200 metres by the branch toward Liski. Beyond that point, access to the coves becomes walking terrain over macadam and karst. Travellers using the bus should therefore treat the ride to Ćunski and the foot approach to Liski, Liska Slatina and Cape Kurila as separate stages.
The official route description gives about 20 minutes for the descent to Liski, with roughly 50 metres of elevation change.
Yes. Cape Kurila has a lighthouse of the same name, reached by footpaths and rough tracks west of Ćunski.
The official guide does not recommend cycling on part of the Liski route because of the rough macadam and karst terrain.
Restaurant Artatore is at Artatore 132 in the Ćunski area, about 50 metres from the shore, and has operated since 1972.
