Cres Olive Harvest: Experience a Traditional Harvest with a Local Family

Experience the charm and tradition of the olive harvest on the beautiful island of Cres.

Join this unique tour and take part in a traditional olive harvest alongside a local family.

During the tour, you will enjoy a traditional lunch in the olive grove, just as local families do, featuring a selection of cured meats, seasonal fruits and vegetables, drinks, and other local delicacies.
