For the weekend, the event "Creska ovca" will be held on the largest Croatian island, during which the famous Alen Vitasović will perform. The aim of this event is to promote island sheep farming and the Cres sheep (pramenka) as an indigenous breed.

On Saturday, July 13th, the 16th edition of the "Creska ovca" manifestation will be held in Orlec, dedicated to the Cres sheep which has been the provider for islanders throughout history. The Cres sheep, which lives freely in an environment rich in wild plants, is known for its resilience and adaptability. Although wool used to be the main product of the Cres sheep, today it is young Cres lamb and Cres sheep cheese.

The organizers from the association of Cres sheep breeders Pramenka are preparing a rich program for visitors. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about the Cres sheep, view collections of sheep, and watch the sheep shearing competition. The competition will be held in male and female categories, and a professional jury will select the best ram and the best collection of sheep.

The entertainment program starts at 7:00 PM, accompanied by a fair of local products and a rich gastronomic offer. Visitors will be able to enjoy lamb on a spit, grilled lamb, lamb with peas, homemade cakes, and the traditional Cres dessert - olito, as well as many other delicacies. The good entertainment until late at night will be ensured by the Folklore Society Orlec, Macaklini, and the popular Alen Vitasović.

During the week, many other events are held on Cres, such as the Klapa evening of Cres Island on Monday, July 8th, in Beli. The exhibition of local products "Creska butega" is held on Tuesdays and Fridays. On Tuesday, July 9th, visitors can join a free guided tour, and on Wednesday, July 10th, the felting workshops "Ovčje ludorije".

The cycle of jazz concerts Cres Summer Jazz Nights starts on Wednesday, July 10th. The concerts will be held every Wednesday in different places on the island, bringing music around the island. The first jazz concert, performed by the Cres Summer Jazz Quartet consisting of Filip Flego, Vanja Čerić, Robi Mikuljan, and Rajko Ergić, will be held on July 10th at 8:30 PM at Consu in Cres.

Tourism desk

Our Travel Desk was born out of a long-standing passion for travel, discovering new places, and serious journalism. Behind every article stand people who have been living tourism for decades – as travelers, tourism workers, guides, hosts, editors, and reporters. For more than thirty years, destinations, seasonal trends, infrastructure development, changes in travelers’ habits, and everything that turns a trip into an experience – and not just a ticket and an accommodation reservation – have been closely followed. These experiences are transformed into articles conceived as a companion to the reader: honest, informed, and always on the traveler’s side.

At the Travel Desk, we write from the perspective of someone who has truly walked the cobblestones of old towns, taken local buses, waited for the ferry in peak season, and searched for a hidden café in a small alley far from the postcards. Every destination is observed from multiple angles – how travelers experience it, what the locals say about it, what stories are hidden in museums and monuments, but also what the real quality of accommodation, beaches, transport links, and amenities is. Instead of generic descriptions, the focus is on concrete advice, real impressions, and details that are hard to find in official brochures.

Special attention is given to conversations with restaurateurs, private accommodation hosts, local guides, tourism workers, and people who make a living from travelers, as well as those who are only just trying to develop lesser-known destinations. Through such conversations, stories arise that do not show only the most famous attractions but also the rhythm of everyday life, habits, local cuisine, customs, and small rituals that make every place unique. The Travel Desk strives to record this layer of reality and convey it in articles that connect facts with emotion.

The content does not stop at classic travelogues. It also covers topics such as sustainable tourism, off-season travel, safety on the road, responsible behavior towards the local community and nature, as well as practical aspects like public transport, prices, recommended neighborhoods to stay in, and getting your bearings on the ground. Every article goes through a phase of research, fact-checking, and editing to ensure that the information is accurate, clear, and applicable in real situations – from a short weekend trip to a longer stay in a country or city.

The goal of the Travel Desk is that, after reading an article, the reader feels as if they have spoken to someone who has already been there, tried everything, and is now honestly sharing what is worth seeing, what to skip, and where those moments are hidden that turn a trip into a memory. That is why every new story is built slowly and carefully, with respect for the place it is about and for the people who will choose their next destination based on these words.
