Croatia - day 3 - Cres island

Cres island

After 2 days on Rab it is time to visit the biggest island in Croatia - Cres. To go there from Rab we had to get a ferry to Krk and then to Cres (lines Lopar-Valbiska and Valbiska-Merag, around 30€ altogether for 2 persons with motorbike). On one of it we saw large longhorn beetle.

why fly if you can get from place A to place B for free :)

On Cres it is very hot. It is like in a pit where there is no wind. But there lies one of the most famous beaches in Croatia - beneath a place called Lubenice (translated - watermellon). You can get there by foot from Lubenice (around 40 minutes of walking in one direction) or by sea, so it shouldn't be crowded.

Cres is one of not so many islands that has its own source of drinking water, thanks to the lake called Vransko jezero. The lake's water is so clean that it supplies water without any filtering.

In the afternoon we arrived to southernmost part, Punta Križa, where we piched the tent in a (overpriced) camp. I saw a caterpillar and after few hours found out that there are hoards of them in a camp.
