From Venice we headed north passing through Slovenia on our way to Croatia. Last time we were inWe planned a 4 day stay on a Croatian island called Cres which is just off the coast from Croatia- the last stay at a beach before we head to Scandinavia and colder temperatures.
We caught a ferry to the island which was quite large but very rocky and hilly covered mostly in scrub and olive trees and stone walls everywhere to keep in the few sheep we saw.
Our camp was near a little seaside village called Martiscia, a lovely place with nice beaches and lovely clean water, a nice change after Italy!
We spent a couple of idyllic days here, resting, swimming and Snorkelling in the crystal clear sea.
We spent one day exploring part of the island, and travelled to a beautiful clifftop village called Lubenice , where the handful of inhabitants, spent there days working the fields and making trinkets and Grappa to sell to the tourists.
We climbed for 90 minutes down to the best beach we have found all trip, great snorkelling, as long as you were happy with the clothes optional attitude of most people there.
It was a long walk but well worth it , and after the climb back up,
All too soon our beaching days were over and we decided to head north, Cres had proved a perfect spot, with hot weather and beautiful beaches.
Our next country was to be Austria, we had to pass through Slovenia which is a very green and forested place, with just small pockets of small scale farming, but the roads were good and travel was easy.
