The town\u2019s main square has been renovated, and the atmosphere there is supremely relaxing.<strong>&nbsp;Cres town<\/strong>&nbsp;has a large marina and a string of shingle beaches, and although it\u2019s largely unspoilt, retains an unpretentious feel.<\/p><p>If you have the opportunity to tour at all (Cres is difficult to negotiate if you don\u2019t have your own wheels), the town of<strong>&nbsp;Lubenice&nbsp;<\/strong>is something you should definitely not miss. This old village\u2019s setting on a high cliff against the backdrop of the sea is absolutely spectacular. Hundreds of metres below you, the colour of the sea against the yellow shingle beach is incredibly inviting, but the idea of the climb back up the hillside is equally off-putting for all but the most determined pleasure-seekers. Lubenice is known for hosting exhibitions of photography and for its musical evenings.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.inyourpocket.com\/img\/text\/croatia\/rijeka\/lubenice.jpg\" alt=\"Lubenice\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.inyourpocket.com\/img\/text\/croatia\/rijeka\/lubenice.jpg\" alt=\"Lubenice\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure><p><em>Lubenice<\/em><\/p><p>Moving south again towards the point where a short road bridge connects Cres with the island of Lo\u0161inj, you pass by beautiful freshwater Lake Vransko.

Finally,&nbsp;<strong>Osor town<\/strong>, which once used to be the administrative centre of the island, is now a quiet stone village basking in the sunlight and its reputation as an artists\u2019 colony.

It has breathtaking views, islands enriched in culture, history, and ancient spirits which wander through little stone-paved streets, and an amazing horizon that connects the sea, sky, and sunset. Each island has its own story which makes it special, but today, let&#8217;s talk about Kor\u010dula. [&hellip;]<\/div><\/div><\/div><p><strong>Krk Town<\/strong>&nbsp;is the island\u2019s capital, and inside its walls is a lovely little maze of stone streets. Since there\u2019s quite a lot to see, it\u2019s a place to stay in or visit for a day, but be prepared for crowds in the height of summer. There\u2019s a little beach just under the city walls, a pleasant spot to bathe.<br>For gastronomy, we recommend you head for&nbsp;<strong>Vrbnik<\/strong>, topping a steep hillock on the northern coast, with a tiny emerald-green harbour at its feet. In the maze of narrow streets and stairways, locals say, is the narrowest street in the world. The town is surrounded by vineyards where&nbsp;<em>\u017elahtina,<\/em>&nbsp;a type of wine unique to Krk, has been made for generations. Wandering through Vrbnik you have the overwhelming impression that old wine barrels lie abandoned everywhere, and the smell of wine permeates everything. Vrbnik is blessed with a couple of very famous restaurants.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re already in Vrbnik, we recommend you take a detour to the small village of&nbsp;<strong>Dobrinj.<\/strong>&nbsp;The vineyards soon give way to cool deciduous forests. The road winds uphill, and when you come to the village you start to think of Tuscany. The view from the lovely Church of St Stephen with its wide, stone-flagged, roofed porch encompasses the lush forests of the island interior, hillsides punctuated by dry stone walls, and the entire Kvarner Gulf. A little further north of Dobrinj is the&nbsp;<strong>Biserujka Cave<\/strong>, the only one of fifty on the island open to the public. As its roof is so close to the surface, rain water seeps through the rock and has formed incredible stalactites.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.inyourpocket.com\/img\/text\/croatia\/rijeka\/dobrinj-panorama-web_2.jpg\" alt=\"Dobrinj, Krk\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.inyourpocket.com\/img\/text\/croatia\/rijeka\/dobrinj-panorama-web_2.jpg\" alt=\"Dobrinj, Krk\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure><p><em>Dobrinj,&nbsp;Dobrinj Tourist Board Archives<\/em><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bra\u010d &#8211;&nbsp;Stone island<\/strong><\/h2><p>Bra\u010d is a great rocky lump basking in the channel between Split and Hvar. It\u2019s fringed with paradise beaches in white pebble and sand, and covered in pine, olive and other Mediterranean trees and shrubs. Wandering through the pine forests, olive groves and scrub, you come across remnants of civilisations reaching back to prehistory. In the hospitable island taverns, you feast on vegetables grown in the hard-won but fertile soil and lamb reared on wild herbs alone, washed down with home-made red wine, the distilled essence of the sun. The island\u2019s spine offers spectacular views of the mainland and neighbouring isles, and you breathe in the smell of wild herbs crushed underfoot.<\/p><p>Bra\u010d has been somewhat overlooked as a holiday destination and we believe this is one of the reasons you&#8217;ll find it so special. Since the island is so close to the mainland and even has its own airport it&#8217;s perhaps easy to underestimate how isolated some of its communities are. The upside of this is that you can still experience a way of life here that hasn&#8217;t changed for centuries, avoiding the brash commercialization that is the fate of so many summer destinations. But perhaps the most disarming thing is the honesty of the people here. You\u2019ll be greeted by people with a sincerity rarely encountered in a tourist setting, a people who have a deep connection with their home which they are ready to share bounteously. This may be tempered at first by a modicum of suspicion, which is perhaps understandable: for some people a visit to the mainland is a rare occasion, and the outside world is something strange and unknown.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.inyourpocket.com\/img\/text\/croatia\/rijeka\/blaca-avio-snimak-autor-zoran-erceg.jpg\" alt=\"Blaca, Bra\u010d\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.inyourpocket.com\/img\/text\/croatia\/rijeka\/blaca-avio-snimak-autor-zoran-erceg.jpg\" alt=\"Blaca, Bra\u010d\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure><p><em>Blaca, Photo by Zoran Erceg<\/em><\/p><p>Bra\u010d is for you if you cherish the rough together with the smooth: the texture of stone, the rocky terrain; the temperament of a people raised on back-breaking toil but unable to live without good humour and company; the bitter tang of a good olive oil, the aroma of sheep&#8217;s cheese and the warm tannins of a home-made wine.
