Cres
Cres is a Croation town lying on the coast of the Island also named Cres, which is located on the Northwest region of the Kvarner Bay. The Town of Cres has a population just under 3,000 and is known for its beautiful coastline and the boat-filled docks located right off shore from the center of the town.
The streets of Cres are notably narrow, similar to Italian cities, and are conducive to walking and mostly free of car traffic. The city contains various shops where visitors can purchase the local-made wine and olive oil which the city is known to produce. The downtown area is very lively with a variety of locally-crafted goods being sold on the street as well as in the many shops . There are also several restaurants , almost all open-aired where visitors can sit and enjoy delicious local cuisine, while watching boats move in and out of the bay.
The Marina located on the outskirts of Cres has recently been awarded the prestigious blue flag award given to a very select group of outstanding beaches and marinas to distinguish them as among the best in the world. The marina is separated from the docks near the center of town and is used to house boats owned by many of the island’s natives as well as serving as a dry dock for repairing large ships used in the thriving Adriatic sea fishing industry.
