Cres is an Adriatic island
Cres is an Adriatic island in Croatia. It is one of the northern islands in the Kvarner Gulf and can be reached via ferry from Rijeka, the island Krk or from the Istrian peninsula (line Brestova-Porozina).
With an area of 405.78 km2, Cres is the same size as the neighbouring island of Krk, although Krk has for many years been thought the largest of the islands. Cres has a population of 3,079 (2011). Cres and the neighbouring island of Lošinj once used to be one island, but were divided by a channel and connected with a bridge at the town of Osor. Cres's only fresh water source is the Lake Vrana.
The island has several villages, all of them connected by a road that runs down the middle of the island. On one side is the ferry from the mainland (to the city of Pula); on the other is the bridge to Lošinj (Lussino), which was once connected by land but is now separated by a waterway. Approaching the island from Pula, you will first come to Porozina.
A list of the villages with descriptions is below:
Porozina - A small village comprising the ferry terminal and a few shops.
Beli - This small village, at the end of a long and very narrow road, is home to a famed bird species, the endangered Griffon vulture.
Cres
Orlec - Another small village at the end of a narrow road, also home to the endangered vulture.
Valun - Visible on the way to Lubenice (see below), this village does not permit cars. A fee is charged for parking.
Lubenice - An ancient mountain village with a great view of the sea and neighboring islands. A restaurant and bar operate during the warmer months. Weekly musical concerts take place during the peak tourist season.
Belej
Stivan - On a side street this small hamlet of 16 people features a very private beach, old houses and a church, and is on the way to other villages.
Merag -with ferry connections.
Miholašćica (it.: San Michele, St. Michael)- A small village with a church which shares the same name as the community. Tourism has grown here since the arrival of the Zaglav community nearby.
Martinšćica (it.: San Martino in Valle, St. Martin in the Valley) - The home of a large vacation complex, Slatina, along with beaches and cafes.
Osor (it.: Ossero)- A town on the "border" between two islands. Founded by the Romans who also dug the channel thus dividing what was then known as the Osor island into Cres and Lošinj. Then a major port and commercial centre started to fade with coming of larger ships that could not pass the narrow channel or dock in the shallow port.
Pernat - The westernmost village on Cape Pernat. A quaint and rustic village forming a gateway to numerous walking trails and secluded beaches.
Podol - Between Lubenice and Valun. A tiny hamlet that resembles a large farmhouse. Its key feature is the mulberry tree located in the middle of the road.
Punta Kriza (it.: Punta Croce) - The southernmost part of Cres. FKK resort is here.
Vidovici - A short distance uphill from Martinšćica. A village with an extraordinary view of the Istrian Peninsula and numerous islands including Zeča, Lošinj and Unije forming part of the archipelago. A restaurant operates in the evenings during the warmer months.
