Cres is a charming island within the Cres-Losinj group of islands, which encompasses 30 islands across an area of more than 193 miles within the Adriatic Sea. The island, which is the Adriatic's second-largest island, is home to the quaint resort town of Cres Town, which showcases gorgeous preserved Venetian architecture and cultural structures dating back to the 15th century.
Visitors can explore landmarks like the Venetian Tower, the Church of St. Mary, and the Municipal Loggia, all located within the city's lovely walled town center. Other popular destinations on the island include the quaint village of Valun, known for its 11th-century inscribed Valun Tablet, and the city of Martinscica, located along a stunning bay on the island's western side.
