A panoramic road, which is worth a visit mainly because of the protected species of bald eagle that lives here. We had the honor of seeing these mighty birds as they circled above us. Of course, the road also offers fantastic views of the neighboring islands and the mainland. In the autumn period, there was very little traffic. Be careful on the narrow parts of the road ...

For those arriving on the island from Porozina, the road to Cres is very tough: immediately about 10 km of climbing with almost no trees, although regular and with good asphalt. It is advisable to take ferries early in the morning or in the evening, because in broad daylight (as we did) it is a very hot climb and with no way of finding water up to Cres. Then the road narrows, enters the woods and has some ups and downs but not as challenging as the first part, and the descent to Cres is very beautiful and panoramic. In the upper part of the road you can see the bays of the island, the nearby islands and the Croatian coast both towards Istria and towards Rijeka and beyond. Truly spectacular

At the end of the 350 m difference in altitude, however, you will be rewarded with a small private beach where you are alone with yourself and the environment. The ascent is at least as strenuous and arduous as the descent ...
