Cycle Croatia

Cycle along the coastlines and hilly outcrops of the Dalmatian Coast on this seven-day cycling adventure. Ride to islands of olive groves and cypress forests to sparkling beaches, then wander romantic cities full of history. Walk along Hvar’s cobbled lanes and Korcula’s small town streets, chill out along Split’s harbour esplanade and discover the secrets behind Dubrovnik’s medieval walls. Explore Hvar Island at your own pace, ride to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Stari Grad Plain and enjoy a group picnic with views of the Adriatic.To complete this trip, it’s important that you are both confident and competent in riding a bicycle., You’ll have a leader that rides with the group, and another that drives the support vehicle (acting as a back marker where needed). Where the vehicle cannot travel directly with the cyclists (e.g. a cyclists-only path) your leader will assign a person from the group to act as a back marker., While the cycling distances on this trip are relatively short (the longest ride is only 50 km), the terrain of the Dalmatian Coast is naturally hilly and the climate often warm. You’ll need a reasonable level of fitness to enjoy the trip, but the support vehicle is always on hand if you need to take a break for an hour or a day., As your riding is done mostly on sealed roads with the occasional gravel cycle path, there are no technical cycling skills required. Given the hills, we do suggest practicing riding downhill, so you’re comfortable once the trip begins., As there are cobblestones and many stairs in most European towns, and space in our support van is limited, it's strongly recommended that you leave any wheelie bags/cases at home and bring a backpack instead., Hotels in Europe often don't have double beds, but rather two single beds that can be pushed together., This trip is part of a longer itinerary. You might be joining travellers who have already spent some time together. If you have more time to explore, you might like to check out our Cycle Croatia & the Balkans trip.
