Overview

Pedal Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, roll past Vransko Lake, island hop through the Zadar archipelago and ride into the wild Velebit Highlands. You'll be cycling along the quiet island roads, exploring secluded beaches, olive groves and traditional fishing villages. Climb into the Velebit Mountains, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, for panoramic views and a dramatic descent into the Zrmanja River Canyon, and riding into some of Croatia’s most beautiful UNESCO-listed towns, including Trogir, Šibenik and historic Zadar. You'll also be able to taste your way along the coast, sampling the best local flavours – from fresh seafood to Paski cheese and Dalmatian olive oil.
