Today, Cres is largely focused on tourism, whose beginnings date back to 1845, which makes it the second place with the longest tourist tradition on the Adriatic. It is located in the bay, which enabled the development of fisheries, shipping and shipbuilding. The old town offers an insight into its past and present - narrow and tall houses lean against each other forming a maze. On some facades of the buildings, old coats of arms are still visible, denoting the occupations of the people who lived in them. In the past, the old town was surrounded by high walls and the city could be entered through three city gates.

We had a really great time here in Cres Town. We especially enjoyed the glorious boat adventures where we spotted gigantic whales. Watching the huge whales was like a scene out of a movie. I am looking forward to coming again very soon.

We had a lot of fun while camping in this vibrant town. After a day of adventurous trips and learning, I relished sitting with a drink and enjoying the magical sunsets. My friends already planned another trip.

We really had a great time here with my siblings. We especially enjoyed scuba diving and snorkeling where we got to admire the magical sea underworld of fish and ship wrecks. What an experience we had!

Cres Town is a historical treasure that left my kids with a sense of awe with its rich traditions. The medieval time's ports had cute relics on display and the kids were very delighted.
