Cres

The island of Cres is the largest in Croatia and offers travellers exceptional views along its coastal roads that overlook the azure sea. The hills and meadows where countless sheep are grazing, the olive groves and fields outlined in dry-stone walls are so many characteristics of this island that will not leave you indifferent. The eponymous town with its medieval architecture, behind its two 18th Century Venetian gateways, is a labyrinth of narrow streets, vaulted passageways and restfully cool interior courtyards. Further on in the island, at the end of a winding road, the village of Lubenice, like an eagle’s eerie, is a former medieval fortress that will delight the most romantic.
