O CRESU
Otok bjeloglavih supova, dupina, divljih, prekrasnih plaža, sela izgrađenih u kamenu i liticama, izvrsne hrane i pića, ovaca, a uskoro i svih nas!

In the north, trails run through the Tramuntana forest. Nearby, griffon vultures nest on cliffs near the village of Beli. Southwest, secluded Sveti Ivan beach lies on a cove below the medieval hilltop village of Lubenice.

The Cres Book of Nature is rich in flora and fauna, and the island is also known as one of the last natural habitats of the rare griffon vulture. Apart from its magnificent wonders of nature, the island of Cres also has an enviable historical and cultural heritage that can be seen first hand in the town of Cres, the Tramuntana area, and the small towns of Beli, Lubenice, and Osor, while pristine gems like the Blue Grotto sea cave and the beautiful Sveti Ivan (St John's) beach look like scenes from paradise.
