Cres
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.

Cres is a nice cozy town and a hub for nature and civilization history. I was very impressed by the rich vegetation and the old ruins. You’ve got to love Cres Town!

I immensely enjoyed the classic concerts held in town in the old buildings and sometimes in the old streets. Classical music and Cres seemed like a perfect combination for every art lover.

Cres town puts civilization into perspective especially after visiting its impressive exhibition museums. A lot of artifacts and relics gave me a well-rounded picture of history. I will definitely visit again.

We went on a fantastic boat sail and I was thrilled by the cute dolphins. We later took a nice dip in the waters and enjoyed good food, wine, and great company.
