Valun, Coastal settlement on Cres Island, Croatia.
The village sits along a protected bay with traditional stone buildings arranged in narrow streets leading down to a natural harbor.
The settlement developed from an ancient port connected to the abandoned Bućov community, serving as a maritime trade point through centuries.
The Valun tablet, discovered near the village, contains one of Croatia's earliest Glagolitic inscriptions, marking significant linguistic heritage.
Visitors must leave their vehicles outside the village boundaries and explore the settlement exclusively on foot through its narrow pathways.
The settlement maintains a population of 64 residents across 8.3 square kilometers, preserving traditional fishing practices and maritime traditions.
