Cres, Croatia is a major settlement and tourist resort on the island of Cres. The vast bay, surrounded by boulders, and historic core with an array of houses, give this place the very special splendor of a tourist island atmosphere. The coastline is well-indented and some 248 km long. It abounds in coves and pebble beaches along the western and southern part, while the northern and eastern parts are known for steep boulders. There is a prominent abundance of plants (some 1300 species) and animals, and a significant number of endemic species, which together represent a real challenge for nature lovers. There is also one of the very last habitats of griffon vulture, a very rare bird. Cres has a diving school with a long tradition, which includes all levels, from beginner to professional. Tennis, mini-golf, table-tennis, and water sports - sailing, surfing, and underwater fishing - are some of the sports offerings. Boat and yacht rentals are also possible in the town of Cres.
