Perfect!

The hotel is beautiful and situated just off the beach. A very easy walk to the main part of town, and a great”home base” to explore more of the island. The gardens outside made our room feel private and peaceful. Breakfast was outstanding. We loved our stay!

    Excursion to Merška Pit

    Discover and explore one of the most interesting natural phenomena on the island of Cres.

    Merška Pit is one of the rare, but truly impressive examples of a cover-collapse sinkhole on Cres. The sinkhole is thought to have developed a long time ago with the collapse of a giant underground cavern. You will be able to witness first hand how steep and rocky its side walls are, and the large volumes of rock debris and stone blocks at the bottom of the sinkhole will give you an idea of the large-scale breaking-off and collapse of rocks that took place in the past.

    From Kimen Hotel we head to Bartolomej – an authentic old church that bears witness to the earliest days of life on Cres. After that, we climb down to Merška Pit. We then head to the village Merag and then the ferry port for our transfer back.

    Excursion to Tramuntana

    You can explore the east part of the island of Cres, also known as Tramuntana, with the help of expert guides. This excursion will take you on a journey down the paths of our ancestors and to the most beautiful locations of this part of Cres.

    Our first stop from Kimen Hotel is the picturesque village of Beli. From there, we go down one part of the trail to visit the abandoned village of Frantin, where a school once stood. Our next stop is the village of Crkveni, after which we head to Konec, aptly named the “end”, as it stands on the very end of the island. Thanks to its location, the village offers a stunning view which will let you see the island in a truly special way. From Konec we head to the village of Ivanje, after which the trail leads us to the town remnants. The remains of these ancient, authentic Cres houses will best illustrate the culture of the island. Our next destination is the abandoned village of Žanjevići – another chapter in the history of our ancestors.

    We continue along the trail until we reach remnants from an even earlier age and finally head back to Beli.
