We will walk from Kimen Hotel to Pišće – a unique swamp area that will remind you once again of just how diverse the landscape on this island is.
We will make a short stop here to learn about the significance of water on the island. We will go down the Napoleonic Path to the village of Krčina, after which we will head to Loznati – a small village of just 37 inhabitants, but known far and wide for its excellent lamb.
From Loznati we continue on towards Antonski – a village that was formerly covered in vineyards, after which we go back to the town of Cres.

First, our bus will take us to Martinšćica – a village centred around the church of Sveti Martin with the 16th-century Franciscan monastery and the Sforza castle dating back to the 17th century.
We continue on foot to Vidovići – a small village sitting at an altitude of 280 m. The Cres locals claim that from this location it is possible to see as far as Istria, or even Italy, on days after bora winds.
We continue on our way to Lubenice, where our transfer back awaits us.

From Kimen Hotel we follow the water to the asphalt road leading to Valun. We will first visit the cemetery, which is also the site where the Valun Tablet was discovered – one of the oldest Glagolitic monuments in Croatia, dating back to the 11th century.
You will get the chance to hear all about the culture of this area and the ancient Slavic traditions of feasting at the cemetery.
After that, we arrive to Valun, where you will learn about its rich history. The return journey is possible by van or by boat.

Return by boat includes lunch and is available at the price of HRK 120 per person.
Our first stop from Kimen Hotel is the picturesque village of Beli. From there, we go down one part of the trail to visit the abandoned village of Frantin, where a school once stood.
Our next stop is the village of Crkveni, after which we head to Konec, aptly named the “end”, as it stands on the very end of the island. Thanks to its location, the village offers a stunning view which will let you see the island in a truly special way.
From Konec we head to the village of Ivanje, after which the trail leads us to the town remnants. The remains of these ancient, authentic Cres houses will best illustrate the culture of the island.
Our next destination is the abandoned village of Žanjevići – another chapter in the history of our ancestors.
We continue along the trail until we reach remnants from an even earlier age and finally head back to Beli.
