Merag
Merag is a village and ferry port on the east of the island of Cres. The nearest settlement is the town of Cres (3 km southwest). Merag has only a few permanent residents, and has retained the status of a traditional Croatian village.Next to the place is Meraška jama, a large tectonic cave overgrown with dense laurel forest. Merashka jama is an unusual geomorphological structure carved into the slope, to the left of the ferry port and the village of Merag. This is a rare and very impressive example of the collapse of a valley on the island of Cres. It probably originated in the distant past when the roof of a large underground cave collapsed. The sides of the Meraška Cave are steep and rocky, while at the bottom of the valley a lot of debris and many large boulders have accumulated, as evidenced by the huge fractures and depressions of the rocks that have occurred here in the past.

There is also a unique and rare valley which explains more about the Geography of Merag. Its rich history explains further about the the underground cave that collapsed. Educative history that I will explain to my family when I go back to home

We visited this place and we're amazed by the dense valley and caves here. We explored the area and discovered many caves. We even came across big snake and other wild animals. Our guide warned us to be on our hard because of some poisonous plants. We had a great adventure.

This place harboured natural forests and rocks. I loved taking long walks around the forest listening to the birds sing. I loved the fresh scent of flowers and the smell of wet soil. I could later go back for a nice delicious meal at the hotel.

The area has a dense flora that captured our eyes on visiting the village. The weather and the atmosphere was conducive and enticing that led us to having a hike around the valley. Breathtaking views of the landscape and some unique features that enabled us to witness the amazing places.

We had boat tours and rented a boat that we really enjoyed the cruise across the sea. The guide was friendly and funny and allowed us to have some drinks on the boat and also some music to listen to. The views were spectacular not forgetting the wonderful friends that i spent all the time with.
