​History and monuments
The first mention of the island comes from the end of the 11th century, however, objects have been found during archaeological excavations that show Ilovik was inhabited much earlier. In the 11th century a Benedictine monastery was built, where a defensive tower was built in the 16th century to protect the island's inhabitants against pirates. The island still has remains of buildings from the Roman period which you can discover during your holiday in one of our villas or apartments to rent in Croatia. At the bottom of the sea near the island lies the wreck of a sunken ship, as well as artefacts from the Roman period. Ilovik was originally called Tovarnjak. The current name comes from the type of soil found on the island. Ilovik is the perfect destination for a holiday in Kvarner Bay.
