A special feature of the place is the 'Torać', the last remaining traditional olive mill on the island, which now serves as a museum, showing visitors how the precious oil used to be pressed. Due to its elevated position, Ćunski gives panoramic views of the Cres-Lošinj archipelago and offshore islands like Susak and Ilovik. The surroundings are characterized by dense pine forests and Mediterranean macchia, making the air particularly pure and healthy. Nearby is Artatore Bay, known for its sheltered beaches and clear water. The small island airport of Lošinj is also located near the village. Life in Ćunski is quiet and relaxed. In the narrow alleys of the old village center, one can still find many examples of typical island architecture. For hiking enthusiasts, there are numerous paths leading down to secluded coves or running along the island's ridges.
