Percent Map travel guide (2026-09-19): Discover Croatia's Hidden Gem Cres

Recently, I spent time exploring the wild beauty of Cres, one of the lesser-known Adriatic islands off the coast of Croatia. The island is dotted with small towns and villages, offering a serene escape from large crowds. The landscape is a mix of scrubby heath, olive groves, and fragrant lavender fields, making it a picturesque setting for a relaxing getaway. With temperatures at around +18°C in September, now is the perfect time to visit Cres and enjoy its turquoise sea waters before the cold sets in.
