town of music and sculptures - Osor
picek Says: A traveler who'll take a main road from north Cres 'till south into Lošinj, will eventually have to cross the narrow canal dividing two islands - yet they are connected nowsadays by a bridge at small and partially fortified town Osor. Historically, it's one of the oldest...
picek Says: On Cres there's no place like Lubenice, a small village placed on 380 m high rock from where your view ends towards meeting point of the sea and sky. Probably the most iconic place on the island, one can hardly compare it with any other type of settlement. It's ancient,...
Martin_S. Says: The island of Cres is full of small coves, inlets and hidden anchorages. This one is just outside the town of Mali Losijn near the southern part of the island. The water was perfectly calm and this is also part of the Mali Losijn Dolphin Preserve.
Martin_S. Says: Some of the small coves can anchor only a boat or two, but provide complete, or almost complete privacy from prying eyes. There are those nosey tourists who poke their noses in everywhere.
Martin_S. Says: The island of Cres is indented with coves, some large, like this one, open and wide and some small and well hidden.

AndreasK Says: With 6500 inhabitants Mali Losinj is the largest insular town on the Adriatic Sea. A dozen Croatian families came to the island of Losinj from Hungary, fleeing from the Mongols. Since the primary economic activity of the Croat settlers was cattle-raising and agriculture,...

picek Says: If you travel by car you need to take ferry to Cres and you can do so from those two places:1. In Istria at east coast from Brestova village to Porozina which is Northern Cres, the ride will be only about 20 minutes or so. Be careful when driving on narrow roads there (in...
Martin_S. Says: The only way to access the island is by ferry. The Jadrolinija ferry services between Cres/Optija and Cres/Krk.
picek Says: One of greatest pleasures of Cres is to explore side roads winding among dry walls, in slavonic languages know as suhozid, on Cres as gromača. Nowsadays they are merged with environment as inseparable unit offering shelter to numerous wild species of both flora and...
picek Says: One of best things about Lošinj is that you can easily get away to outlying islands by public transport, boat or catamaran. Both are run by Jadrolinija and cost few euros per one way, which is cheap alternative to guided tours and beside everything, you're travelling with...
