Podrocje Osorja je bilo poseljeno že v prazgodovini. V rimski dobi je bil Osor, ki so ga rimljani imenovali Apsoros, municipij, in važen trgovski center, ki je na poti skozi Osorsko ožino vodil do pristanišc severnega Jadrana. Po propadu rimskega cesarstva pa je prišel pod bizantinsko cesarstvo, od 6. stoletja pa je sedež nadškofije. Leta 841 je bil požgan s strani Saracenov, v 10. stol pa prizna oblast hrvaškim vladarjem.
Osor
Osor je bil že od nekdaj eno izmed vodilnih mestnih središc otokov Cres in Lošinj. Obenem je bil tudi pomembno trantitno pristanišce z ugodno strateško lego ob kanalu, ki je znatno skrajšal plovbo med severnojadranskimi pristanišci in Dalmacijo. V zgodovinskem jedru mesta so vidni ostanki njegove slavne preteklosti: forum, s polkrožnim obokom pokrita loža,kjer se je sestajal mestni svet ( danes stavba muzeja), školovski dvorec, katedrala z zvonikom. Te zgradbe so postaviliv 15. in 16. stoletju in so bile dokoncane v casu, ko so se mešcani zaradi pustošenja epidemij zaprli v noarnjost mestnega zidovja. Izven starega mestnega jedra so ostanki mitološkega Apsorosa: temelji zgodnjekršcanske katedrale, zidovi, obzidje, vrtovi in cvetlicnjaki, ki prekrivajo sledove porušenih rimskih vil in samostanov- skritih biserov, ki prebujajo domišljijo v razmošljanju o minulih casih.
Danes se mesto ponovno prebuja s kulturnoumetniškimi prireditvami Osorski glazbeni veceri, ki potekajo v katedrali. Turisticni delavci nudijo svojim gostom bivanje v avtokampu ob morju ali namestitev pri zasebnikih v zgodovinskem jedru mesta. Pot nadaljujemo do Punte Križe, ki se razprostira med bujnimi borovimi gozdici. Tu se nahaja velik in dobro oskrbovan avtokamp, ki poleg prostora za naturiste nudi tudi restavracije, trgovine, športne objekte in številne plaže ob prekrasnih zalivih.
The town of Osor , together with the road that continues to the Punta Kriza, lies on the southernmost part of the island. For as long as one can remember, Osor has been one of the most important centers of the Cres and Losinj archipelago, and a prominent transit port of strategic significance, located on the channel that separates the two islands, thereby considerably shortening navigation from the Northern Adriatic ports to Dalmatia. You can find the many remnants of the town's famous fast in the historical heart of town: the town forum, the municipal palace, the "loggia" covered by an arch (now housing a museum), the diocese and the cathedral with the church tower. All of these structures date from the XV. and XVI. centuries, built during an era when epidemics raged, against which the town protected itself by erecting the city walls. In the cemetery outside the town center, the last remains of the mythical Apsoros (Osor) are visible: the foundations of an early Catholic cathedral, walls, towers, gardens, and fields that cower up the ruins of the Roman villas and monasteries, hidden jewels that remind us of times past. Today the town is again being brought to life, thanks to a string of cultural events bearing the common name "The Osor Musical Evenings" that take place in the Osor Cathedral, while the town's visitors can choose between staying in a private apartment in the historical heart of town, or staying at the camp - site by the sea.
Continuing on the road to Punta Kriza that winds in - between rich hunting grounds and broad pine trees, you arrive at two large and well - equipped camps that have, along with a nudist colony, plenty of restaurants, various stores, sporting facilities, and lots of beach space alongside gorgeous bays.
