A Must-Do Experience in Cres!
Discover the rich olive-growing heritage of Cres on this guided experience that blends nature, tradition, and local flavors. The tour begins with a leisurely walk through centuries-old olive groves just outside Cres. Along the way, your guide will share insights into traditional olive-harvesting methods, the olive varieties found on the island, and their unique characteristics.
Next, step inside a local olive oil mill to uncover the story of olive oil production in Cres. Learn how olives are transformed into high-quality olive oil, how it is stored, and what makes it special — topped off with a guided olive oil tasting at the mill.
The journey continues into town, where you'll visit a local olive oil producer in his shop. Hear first-hand stories about the production process and enjoy an olive oil tasting accompanied by a traditional aperitif.
To complete the experience, you'll visit another local producer to sample homemade jams and spreads crafted from fruits encountered during the tour, such as wild pomegranate, olives, and figs.
As a sweet souvenir, each guest receives a jar of olive jam (sweet or savory, subject to availability) — a delicious taste of Cres to take home.
