Summer may be over, but that doesn\u2019t mean the island is asleep. Quite the opposite \u2013 in autumn, Cres seems to live a different life. A calmer one, more relaxed, but equally as exciting. If you choose autumn camping at Kova\u010dine Camp, here\u2019s a bucket list of experiences which are a must. <\/p>\n

1. Have breakfast on an empty beach<\/h4>\n

Some bread, cheese, figs, and a thermos full of coffee. And the silence. No noise, no speakers blasting music. Just you and the sea. <\/p>\n

2. Take a walk in Lubenice with no crowds<\/h4>\n

In autumn, the narrow stone alleys of this ancient town look straight out of a movie. And the best part? No one will be walking through your shots of the amazing Lubenice sunset. <\/p>\n

3. Gather a pile of leaves and jump into it (adults included)<\/h4>\n

When did you last do that? Your kids will laugh, your dog will think it found buried treasure, and you will remember that life doesn\u2019t always have to be serious. <\/p>\n

4. Cycle to Valun<\/h4>\n

Autumn means you can go for a bike ride without looking like you\u2019d just run a marathon. The route to Valun passes through olive groves and offers amazing views of the sea\u2014worth every pedal stroke. <\/p>\n

5. Discover the \u201cautumnal Cres\u201d plate<\/h4>\n

Try the local lamb, olive oil, and fresh fish available every day at the camp\u2019s fish market! Autumn is also the time for harvesting olives, so don\u2019t miss your chance to visit one of the local oil mills or join us at the Kova\u010dine Camp and help us harvest the olives! Bonus: you won\u2019t have to wait to be seated at a restaurant. <\/p>\n

6. Gaze at the starry sky on a blanket<\/h4>\n

In autumn, the sky is crystal clear, and there is only minimal light pollution on Cres. Cosy up on a blanket, get out your wine, and make a wish on a shooting star. <\/p>\n

7. Experience Cres in a kayak<\/h4>\n

The sea is still warm and calm enough for kayaking in September and October. Rent a kayak at the camp, row to one of the hidden coves and pretend you have discovered a new civilisation. <\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Image #3″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/camp-kovacine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Voznja-kajakom-po-otoku-Cresu.webp” alt=”Kayaker on crystal clear sea of Cres Island” title_text=”Kayak adventure on Cres” show_bottom_space=”off” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width_phone=”100%” max_height=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”e0931326-e1f5-4a2c-bc9f-a861f6ba6f25″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

8. Explore bird migrations<\/h4>\n

If you\u2019ve ever wanted to experience events worthy of the \u201cNational Geographic\u201d in person, bring a pair of binoculars and go for a walk. Autumn is when countless flocks fly over Cres on their way to southern lands, and the sea becomes a playground for the grebes. <\/p>\n

9. Write a gratitude journal<\/h4>\n

Sounds cheesy<\/em>? Perhaps. Still, in the autumnal peace and quiet at the camp, surrounded by the fragrance of pine trees and the sea, it won\u2019t be difficult to list all the small stuff that we should be grateful for: front row seats to gorgeous sunsets, olive trees next to your tent, laughter around the table, the starry skies… (you\u2019re free to continue)… <\/p>\n

10. Book your next stay at Kova\u010dine Camp<\/h4>\n

Once you experience autumn on Cres, you\u2019ll probably want to make it a tradition. If you need any more excuses to return, autumn has so many: trails with fewer people, warmer colours, lower prices. <\/p>\n

Your autumn bucket list<\/em> is more than just a list of activities. It\u2019s a reminder that summer isn\u2019t the only good season for camping. In autumn, Cres is quiet, warm, golden, and \u2013 the best part \u2013 yours alone. Just like us. <\/p>\n
