Archipelago  of  BIOdiversity &  Culture

Join us on an unforgettable adventure circling Croatia's largest island, Cres.

Nestled in the northern Adriatic Bay of Kvarner, Cres offers breathtaking scenery and rich history. Originally settled by the Liburnians and later conquered by the Romans, the island was split into Cres and Lošinj by a Roman canal excavation in Osor. Explore hidden gems like turquoise bays, caves, and cliffs teeming with wildlife.

Encounter diverse fauna, from deer to dolphins, and marvel at protected bird reserves, home to eagles, hawks, and the iconic Griffon Vulture. Our journey isn't just about nature; we'll also delve into culture, starting in the picturesque town of Beli, visiting Osor, relaxing on the stunning beach of Lubenice, and exploring historic Cres before returning to Beli.
