The island of Cres boasts several superlatives – the title of the largest and northernmost island in the Adriatic Sea, including that of the second longest and second highest Adriatic island, being the site of the largest cryptodepression in Croatia (Lake Vrana), but also the title of the most sparsely populated Adriatic island.
Cres is also distinguished by its exceptional biodiversity and rich fauna, which is most famous for the griffon vulture.
The island has been inhabited since prehistoric times, when it was populated by the ancient Liburnians, a skilled seafaring tribe, which the rich social history of the island starts with. The cultural heritage of Cres includes over 40 archaeological sites dating from prehistoric times, while urban settlements established during classical antiquity have been inhabited to this day, with Cres being the island’s homonymous main urban centre.
