Exploring the island, you will find many beautiful bays and beaches in the western and southern parts of the island, contrasted with the rugged cliffs and rocks on the north and east, and the unusual freshwater Vrana Lake in the centre of the island.
The Cres Book of Nature is rich in flora and fauna, and the island is also known as one of the last natural habitats of the rare griffon vulture.
Apart from its magnificent wonders of nature, the island of Cres also has an enviable historical and cultural heritage that can be seen first hand in the town of Cres, the Tramuntana area, and the small towns of Beli, Lubenice, and Osor, while pristine gems like the Blue Grotto sea cave and the beautiful Sveti Ivan (St John's) beach look like scenes from paradise.
