Day 1 : Get To Know Split, Your Team, And Your Bikes
Location: Split, Marjan Forest Park
Accommodation: a room in a self catering apartment in Split
Meals Included: Dinner

Our journey of discovering Croatia on bikes will start in Split, the Dalmatian hub. The plan for the first day is to settle down and prepare. You will gather and meet the members of your team, the bike, and your guides. We will talk about everything you need to know about the days ahead. After that, we will have a leisurely bike ride on the hill Marjan, 178 meters high. Marjan is a beautiful hill located near the city center. The trail is simple and easy. It will be a great warm-up and a chance to feel the bike and see how it fits. Plus, you can enjoy the view from Marjan that overlooks Split and its promenade. To sum up, a good day, walk to the magnificent Diocletian's Palace and try out the local Croatian cuisine.

Day 2 : Welcome To Brač Island
Location: Supetar, Gažul, Vidova gora
Accommodation: a room in a self catering apartment in Split
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch


In the morning, a one-hour ferry ride will take us to Supetar, the starting point of our cycling adventure. The island of Brač is a land of exceptional olive oil, wine, and large green pastures. The white stone from Brač was used to build Diocletian's Palace.
Our cycling tour starts after 20 min drive from Supetar, and it starts with a climb from Gažul to Vidova gora. Climb will pay off as we’ll have more energy to enjoy all the nature and human-made wonders in the day ahead. Top view from Vidova gora on one the World’s most beautiful beaches - the Golden cape beach - is just a start.
There are several options we can ride today, and guides will decide upon the best fit based on their assessment of group skills.
Return on an evening ferry to Split.

Day 3 : Hvar Island

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

After a ferry ride to Croatian’s oldest city of Stari Grad, we’ll cycle through its field, one that is on a UNESCO World Heritage List, founded by ancient Greeks 2300 years ago. Explore picturesque villages of Dol, Vrbanj, Vrisnik, Svirce and Pitve before we hit the 708m high peak of Sv. Nikola and the 360 panoramic view it offers. On our descent, we’ll pass through abandoned villages of Malo and Velo Grabje, hear their amazing stories, and enjoy local cuisine in a unique tavern in Malo Grablje. After lunch and a downhill section to Milna bay, there will be an option for a swim or a coffee, before the transfer to Hvar, where we spend a night.

The Pakleni Islands are a divine collection of small islands in front of Hvar town, whose pine trees provide shade to numerous idyllic coves. As tour duration is up to 3 to 4 hours there is enough time to swim, snorkel, chill, get a coffee or refreshing drink at the beach bar. 

Later in the afternoon, we will depart on a ferry to Korčula island. Korčula is considered to be the birthplace of the most renovated traveler Marco Polo, who impacted many people, including Christopher Columbus, and gave significant contributions in terms of Geography and the World maps. The island has been inhabited since prehistoric times. The oldest finds are in Vela Spila, from the Old Stone Age.

On our second day of the journey through Korčula, we will be cycling to the magnificent town of Korčula. Before we reach Korčula town, we have a list of things to see, places to go, and bays to swim in. We will drive through beautiful traditional villages and magical ancient vineyards of Grk and Pošip. Korčula town is surrounded by towers and walls that resemble a smaller version of the old city of Dubrovnik. The towers and walls emphasize the strategic role of Korčula, making it one of the most prominent Croatian historical cities.
We’ll explore the finest areas of the area before we return to our guesthouse in Lumbarda.

We’ll have light lunch in Ston, before we get transferred to Dubrovnik, a gem that Croatia is known for. Dubrovnik is our jewel and magnet for many visitors. A city of exceptional beauty, called Adriatic pearl. It used to be the seat of the Republic of Dubrovnik. It is a world-renowned city that everybody falls in love with at first sight. Dubrovnik offers excellent nightlife, the best restaurants and wine bars, a number of authentic delicacies and souvenirs. You are bound to find something for yourself. Enjoy an evening exploring magnificent fortifications and walls that Dubrovnik is today known for. You’ll find out why so many TV shows and blockbusters choose this city for their set, how it was a republic on its own, how it was wisely governed through centuries, and how its merchant fleet earned respect across the globe.
