Cres

Cres straddles a sheltered harbour on the western coast of Cres Island in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, a position that long made it a maritime centre on the Adriatic. The compact old town retains traces of Venetian rule in its stone lanes, town gates and the Venetian Tower beside the waterfront. Beyond the port, the island’s terrain shifts between rocky shores, maquis-covered slopes and the freshwater Lake Vrana, an important feature of Cres’s interior. Cres is also part of an island environment known for its griffon vultures and traditional sheep farming.
