An island hopping cycle adventure along Croatia's magical
Dalmatian coast
The Dalmatian Coast is one of the true wonders of Europe with arguably the
clearest waters in the Mediterranean, as well as the plethora of historic and
cultural interests. Experiencing this special region by bike is by far the most
rewarding way to travel. From your arrival in Split until just before Dubrovnik,
your journey will encounter the beautiful islands of Brac, Hvar and Korcula,
traveling by bike and ferry. The scenery alternates between seaside villages,
tiny medieval walled towns and lovely quiet pebbled bays, set against a
backdrop of pine forests and mountains. Your final leg takes you to the red
roofs of Dubrovnik, the proud port city that once rivaled Venice in wealth
and influence.
