Hotel Kimen sits in Cres town on Cres Island, a comfortable base close to the island’s protected sea cliffs, home to one of the Adriatic’s most significant griffon vulture colonies.
Rooms & Table
The Rooms
Comfortable rooms typical of a mid-sized Adriatic island hotel, several with sea views.
Food & Service
A straightforward dining programme featuring Croatian coastal cuisine.
Activities
Boat excursions and clifftop walks to observe the island’s griffon vulture colony, alongside general exploration of Cres’s coastline.
Wildlife & Photography
Cres Island holds one of the largest griffon vulture colonies in the Adriatic, a species that depends on the island’s sea cliffs and traditional sheep farming for its food supply.
A Photographer's Note
Griffon vultures soaring on thermals directly above the sea cliffs give a striking combination of raptor and coastal seascape photography.
Conservation & Impact
The island supports a dedicated griffon vulture rescue and feeding programme, critical to sustaining the colony given the species’ dependence on traditional livestock carrion.
