About us – from our guests’ perspective
Incredible place for your rest. Variaty of accomodation options from tent spot 200m from beach till small houses 10m to water. Couple of restaurants, good supermarket, 2 dog friendly beaches, rent of boats, kayaks, sups. Nice promenade along a beach, pine and olive trees are everywhere. We will definitely visit the place again.
Nice quiet and beautiful campsite. Never seen sanitary facility (building 2) so clean on a campsite in the summer period. Good mini supermarket with okay prices. Easy walk to Cres took 20-25 minutes. Fantastic beaches and great snorkelling water. Top class campsite!
All you need to have good holiday in one place. A nice , clean beach. Along the beach there’s a promenade, going to center of city Cres. You can rent a motor boat, a kayak, a bicycle. You can learn how to dive. Do some shopping, fruits and vegatables or a croissant in the morning. Definitely recommended!
