Environmental protection

We give more
than we take.

Untouched nature, fascinating biodiversity and a rarely-encountered rich underwater world make the island of Cres a nature’s jewel.

Your wishes and comfort come first, but we also pay special attention to the preservation of nature and maintaining a clean environment.

We have become your eco-friendly oasis, where everything is directed at preserving natural resources so you could experience them over again.

The proof of our commitment and hard work does not lie only in the Green Key and Blue Flag certifications obtained by Kovačine Camp, but also in the decision taken by the company to only use “green” electricity.

ZelEn certificate for energy from renewable sources

We are the proud holders of the ECOCAMPING certificate for Kovačine Camp! We humbly appreciate all the resources given to us by mother nature, and want to make sure future generations experience them as well.

That is why we advocate greater sustainability in camping tourism. The Ecocamping certificate promotes environmental protection and nature conservation, safety and quality in the camping industry. The prefix “eco” stands for both “ecology” and “economy”, because the environment and economy go hand in hand with ECOCAMPING.
