Croatia’s Mediterranean Coast – a Summer by the Water
In August we spent ten glorious days on the small, beautiful island of Cres in western Croatia. We’ll be back, that much is certain – if only for the people and the food.
A pitch by the sea on Cres
With our camper we found a pitch right by the water, with the sound of the sea and lots of peace.
Cres from above
With the drone Cres revealed itself from above: the coastline in the light, rugged cliffs and the turquoise of the sea. Cres is one of the northern islands of the Kvarner Gulf and, at around 406 square kilometres, the same size as neighbouring Krk, yet it has only just over 3,000 inhabitants; its only source of fresh water is Lake Vrana, and a bridge at Osor leads on to Lošinj.
Pale rocky coast, maquis and turquoise water – Cres from above.A motorboat draws its long wake through the deep blue.The rocky coast and a floating obstacle course in the water.A white sailing boat above dark patches of seagrass.Two stand-up paddlers on white boards in the deep blue.A small boat along the pale rocky coast.Three jetties and two boats in the clear water.A lone boat off the wooded coast.Sailing boats off an island and with a wake.A path through the maquis on the rocky coast.A concrete jetty and a yellow-and-blue boat in the clear water.A pebble cove in the maquis, turquoise water – the sound of the sea and lots of peace.Two boats above light and dark seabed.Motorboats with a thin wake and a broad one.Boats at the curved jetty.A long ship with a rusty open deck in the deep blue sea.A harbour with blue awnings and red roofs.The Rovinj peninsula with its bell tower and the row of houses by the water.
