The Island of Cres

The road that crosses the island of Cres (Cherso) runs straight south and you immediately realise that the island is neither very inhabited nor very developed for tourism; it almost serves as a transit route for those heading on to Losinj (Lussino). We take a walk in the village, perhaps a little retro, frozen in time (the guides say it is like Italy in the 1950s); the seafront promenade is lovely, where we capture a wonderful sunset. Since it is a bit chilly we look for a restaurant with an indoor room and find a peculiar one with stone walls and many antique objects hanging everywhere, where we eat very well spending little. Finding somewhere to sleep is very easy and cheap (25.00 euros for a night for 2). You just have to look around a bit and many houses display the sign 'camere-zimmer'; they trust tourists a great deal, giving you the key to their own house without any problem.
