Nekad predivan ribarski gradić je smješten na južnom dijelu Valunskog zaljeva između dviju šljunkovitih plaža. Valunski zaljev nešto je južnije od Creskog. Prema popisu stanovništva iz 2001. godine u Valunu živi 62 stanovnika. Imao je 20-tak kuća i bio okružen poljima, maslinama, smokvama i šumom.

Mjesto Valun je nastalo kao luka starog naselja Bučev čiji su ostaci nađeni kod crkve svetog Marka. Uz tu crkvu i poznatu Valunsku ploču iz 11. stoljeća, znamenitost je i glagoljski lapidarij koji prikazuje kopije najstarijih glagoljskih natpisa iz Istre, Kvarnera i Dalmacije.

Danas gradić koji ima 100-njak kuća gdje su nestali ili su vrlo rijetki te neodržavani nasadi maslina, smokava te je još jedino šuma tamo i samo se pitam dokle.

Nekad miran i potpuno običan centar mjesta sada vrvi od restorana (4 trenutno) te sa na rivi može vidjet usidreno samo nekoliko manjih brodica za ribarenje dok je ponuda u tim restoranima upakirana ljubaznim osmjehom, koliko toliko jestivim morskim plodovima i loše skuhanom blitvom za poludit no zato toliko visokim cijenama da se odmah izgubi apetit i prije naručivanja.

Mjesto svedeno na obiteljski turizam ponude sunce, more i kakva takva plaža bez ikakvog pokušaja da se barem petkom ili subotom što pametnog osmisli jer su tamo više manje sve mlađe obitelji. Naravno u mjestu prevladavaju prebučni Talijani koji osim loše kulture još su dosadni do bola, bolesno šutljivi Nijemci, Austrijanci te pokoji Čehi, Slovaci, Francuzi i naravno mi domaći.

Sobe koje su za sada sobe sa tri zvjezdice su u biti apartmani koji nisu prošli zbog slijedećih uvjeta:
- ima stepenica od centra mjesta do najvišeg apartmana/sobe za ubit se ili nabavit planinarsku opremu (za starije kiskik obavezno)
- u apartmanima/sobama nema televizora (da dobro ste pročitali), zašto? nemam pojma ali mislim da znam koji je razlog - škrtost
- noćni život ravan 0 ili dobitku na Lotu
- da će te ujutro u dućanu sresti prodavačicu sa osmjehom na licu je jednako Bingu
- da će te u 7 sati uspjeti kupiti jutarnje novine za druženje uz kavu je ravno dočeku nove godine sa Catherine Zeta-Jones (jer novine dolaze tek poslije osam sati)

Ipak soba koju smo mi dobili u toj kategoriji je bila ok i ima sve osim televizora - mini kuhinja, soba sa bračnim krevetom, kupaona te mala terasa vani za popiti kavu ili u miru pročitati novine.

Plaže su uredne i čiste unatoč gomili gostiju i djece koja su bila tamo, poslije kupanja navečer na plažama se rijetko moglo naći smeća van kanti za smeće. Divlje plaže koje su namjenjene naturistima su koristili najmanje oni jer su one bile izvrstan bijeg sa dvije krcate redovne plaže a i tamo se jedino moglo normalno roniti i uživati u bistrini mora te flore i faune koja okružuje otok Cres. Parkiranje van redovnog parkinga koji se plaća 15 kuna dnevno ili ako ste gost onda onoliko koliko ste gost Valuna se ne preporučuje jer osim ako svoje vozilo ne namjeravate svakodnevno podlagati sa najmanje 4 poprilična kamena je rizik zbog nizbrdice/uzbrdice od 10% nagiba. Zelenilo izvire ispod svakog kamena ili komadića betona a sami mještani su još dodatno posadili svoje vrtove brojnim cvijećem i zelenilom koje djeluje opuštajuće ali mami veliki broj zrikavaca da Vas probude već u ranu zoru.

Valun je ipak lijep gradić okružen šumom makar je izgradnja soba/apartmana uzela maha te vjerujem da ipak svijest tih ljudi će ostati u okvirima da ne treba pretjerivati te stati u pravo vrijeme. Vjerujem da ću zbog svega toga ponovno doći ovdje uživati u godišnjem odmoru.

A sad lijepo slijede slike koje sam nekako uspio pospremiti u macromedia slideshow varijantu te ako je prebrzo može se zaustaviti i ručno pokretati svaku sliku.

Once a beautiful fishing town is located on the southern part Valunskog Bay between the two pebble beaches. Valunski Bay is slightly south of Creskog. According to the census of 2001. The lives of Valun 62 residents. He had 20 houses and was surrounded by fields, olive trees, fig trees and forests.

Place Valun was established as a port of old settlements Bučev whose remains were found near the church of St. Mark. In addition to the church and known Valunsku panel of 11. century, sight and Glagolitic stone collection that displays copies of ancient inscriptions from Glagolitic Istria, Kvarner and Dalmatia.

Today, a small town, which has 100 houses where they disappeared or were very rare and not maintained plantations of olives, figs and is still the only noise in there and just ask how long.

Once a quiet and completely ordinary town centre is now thick with restaurants (4 currently) and on the waterfront can see anchored just a few smaller boats for fishing while the offer in these restaurants packing kind smile, how much eatable seafood and bad scald Swiss chard for no mad because prices so high to immediately lose your appetite before ordering.

Place arranged for family tourism offers sun, sea and any such beach without any attempts to at least Friday or Saturday, which makes smart because there are more or less all the young families. Of course in a place dominated by Italians who loudly except bad culture are yet to boring pain, sick silent Germans, Austrians and rare Čehi, Slovaks, French and of course my home.

Rooms that are now rooms with three stars are essentially apartments that are not passed because of the following conditions:
- There are steps from the town center to the highest apartments / rooms for kill or get mouintaineer's equipment (for older oxygen optional)
- In apartments / rooms no TV (that you have read well), why? I have no idea but I think that I know that the reason - avarice
- Nightlife flat 0 or avail on Loto
- That will store in the morning encounter with saleswoman smile on his face, it is equally Bingo
- That will in the 7 am able to buy the morning newspaper for socializing with coffee is straight meet New Year with Catherine Zeta-Jones (for newspapers come only after eight hours)

Still room that we have received in that category was ok and has all but television - a mini kitchen, bedroom with double bed, bathroom and a small terrace outside for a coffee in peace or read newspapers.

The beaches are clean and regular despite a lot of guests and children that were there in the evening after bathing on the beaches are rarely could find the garbage outside the town to store garbage. Wild beach that are intended naturists are used because they at least have been an excellent one flight with two full regular beach and there is normally only could dive in and enjoy the clear sea and the flora and fauna that surrounds the island of Cres. Parking outside of regular parking, which is paid 15 kuna per day, or if you are a guest, then as much as you are a guest Valun is not recommended because unless your vehicle does not intend to subject every day with at least 4 quite stone is a risk because of slope/rise of 10% heeling. Greenery springs beneath each stone or pieces of concrete and townspeople themselves are still further plant its numerous gardens, flowers and greenery that relieves tensions but attracts a large number of crickets that you probude already in the early morning.

Valun is still a beautiful town surrounded by forests is to build at least rooms/suites taken hold, and still believe that awareness of these people will remain within that one should not exaggerate, and stop the right time. I believe that because of all this again come here to enjoy vacation.

And now a nice follow images that I somehow managed to save the slide show macromedia variant, and if he can be too fast to stop and manually run each image.
