Valun

Cars remain in the parking area above Valun because the harbour and lower village are pedestrianised. The same arrangement applies to Zdovica campsite guests: cars, motorcycles and caravans cannot enter, and luggage is transferred from the parking area in handcarts. The walk to the waterfront is short but uphill on the return, which can be awkward with heavy suitcases or a pushchair. The campsite’s official page states that parking is charged according to the concessionaire’s separate price list, but it does not publish a confirmed 2026 rate, so the amount must be checked at the entrance.

Drivers reach Cres on Jadrolinija’s Brestova–Porozina or Valbiska–Merag ferries. In 2026, Brestova–Porozina operates year-round and the crossing takes about 20 minutes. From the ferry ports, island roads lead towards Cres town before a branch descends into Valun Bay. The county’s 2026 public-transport plan lists route 203 between Cres and Valun, but departures should be checked before travel because island frequencies are limited. The bus stops above the pedestrian centre, where cars also remain; the final approach to the harbour, church and restaurants is made downhill on foot.
