The terrain around Merag is steep, rocky and covered with Mediterranean maquis, which has shaped both the compact settlement and the island’s traditional grazing economy. Set on the eastern shore of Cres in the Kvarner Gulf, Merag faces Krk across the Adriatic and serves as one of Cres’s principal ferry arrivals. Its harbour is linked by regular car ferry to Valbiska on Krk, an important connection for travel between the islands. Limestone slopes, olive trees and dry-stone pasture walls beyond the port reflect the rural traditions that remain central to Cres.
