Overview

Croatia's Dalmatian Coast has been a favorite seaside destination among central Europeans for over a century. Explore this spectacular limestone coastline by bicycle! You'll begin in Split where you'll see Diocletian's 3rd century palace still inhabited by descendants of the Romans who settled this area. On your ride you'll pedal three of the Mediterranean's most picturesque islands -Brač, Hvar and Korčula - spending time in the picturesque rural areas, ports, and fishing villages. We'll explore the Medieval and Renaissance cities that were so important to the Greeks, Romans, Venetians, Austrians, Hungarians, and Croats. You'll also pedal to the remote interior of coastal Croatia before reaching the beautiful walled city of Dubrovnik, long considered the jewel of the Adriatic. The Dalmatian islands are known for its hills. From 7 riding days, the first 3 days and the second day on Korčula are loop ones, and you can chose your daily distance, from 0 to 45 or more kilometers per day. The other 3 days you can expect rides from 20-60 km (12-37 miles) and climbs over 900 meters (2.950 feet). This tour is available between April 1 and October 31. Starts can start any day of the week.
