Valun

Valun lies along sheltered Valun Bay on Cres Island’s western Adriatic coast, where pale limestone slopes and Mediterranean scrub descend to a small protected inlet. This compact settlement belongs to the Kvarner island region, west of the town of Cres and facing open water toward Istria. Its best-known cultural artefact is the Valun Tablet, an 11th-century funerary inscription combining Latin and Glagolitic script and an important witness to early Croatian literacy. Stone lanes, boats and waterfront houses keep daily life closely tied to the sea. Move on to other webcams in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County to compare island shores and settlements around Cres.
