Cycle Croatia

Reiseverlauf 2026

1. Tag 1

   Split

   <
   Dobro Dosli! Welcome to Croatia. Your adventure begins in the coastal city of Split, with a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight. If you arrive early, maybe visit the ruins of Diocletian's Palace, explore the original basements under the city or simply unwind with a walk along the waterfront. After your meeting, maybe head out for dinner with your group or grab a drink at a bar on the Riva Promenade.
   It’s very important that you attend the welcome meeting as we will be collecting insurance details and next of kin information at this time. If you are going to be late, please let your travel agent or hotel reception know. Ask reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place. You will need to bring your own bike helmet for this trip. As bike shops are closed on Sundays, the group will depart Split the following day before the shops open.
2. Tag 2

   Brac

   <
   It’s an early start today as you catch the ferry from Split to Supetar on the island of Brac. There will be a bike fitting for the group followed by a short test ride to ensure everything is working properly. From here, begin your first - and possibly the hardest - ride in Croatia, cycling from Supetar along the coastal road to the seaside village of Pucisca. Along the way, take a short detour to the tiny village of Dol, passing vineyards, fig trees and olive groves. Start your first climb up to the village of Pucisca, and enjoy an optional lunch then continue up to Praznica – it’s a pretty steep climb, but you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views over the Adriatic Sea. Have a rest at the top then cycle across the centre to the descent into the town of Bol. Bol is famous for the Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape) – one of the Adriatic’s most beautiful beaches. Take a quick swim at the beach and maybe visit the famous Stina Winery for a tasting before seeking out some fresh seafood for dinner.
   Your travel time today will be approximately 1 hour. Your cycling distance will be approximately 52 km/32 miles with an elevation gain of 990 m/3,250 ft
3. Tag 3

   Hvar

   <
   This morning, take a boat between islands to the small port of Jelsa. From here, start riding to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Stari Grad Plain. Set in a protected bay, Stari Grad is one of Europe’s oldest towns, settled by Neolithic tribes as far back as 3500 BC. Today, the old stone houses, narrow streets and small squares still retain a deeply historic feel. Spend some time exploring Stari Grad at your own pace – maybe visit the Dominican Monastery or Tvrdalj Fortress. Then, continue along a less-trafficked old road to Hvar Island before descending through the old village of Brusje and down into Hvar Town. When you arrive, maybe stroll the pjaca (piazza), visit St Stephen’s Cathedral or take in the views of the palaces which surround the town.
   Your cycling distance today will be approximately 30 km/18.5 miles with an elevation gain of 520 m/ 1,705 ft
4. Tag 4

   Korcula

   <
   This morning, catch a catamaran to Korcula – a Venetian Renaissance-inspired walled city of narrow streets, medieval towers and the reputed birthplace of Marco Polo. Ther day is free for you to explore - head to the beach in Lumbarada, visit one of family owned wineries, stroll in the streets of beautiful old town, or enjoy coffee or wine on promenade. Tonight, maybe head out for dinner with your fellow travellers or find a bar with a view of the Adriatic.
   Since we arrive in the morning, there may be times that not all rooms will be ready. You can leave at the hotel, or send it with our support vehicle and take only smaller daybag with necessaries. Our support van will arrive to Korcula in the afternoon.
5. Tag 5

   Korcula

   <
   Spend the morning on the road, as you drive through Korcula, past vineyards, olive groves and forests up to the hamlet of Pupnat. The position of Pupnat and steepness of the approach is no accident – it was designed to help keep the town safe from pirates through the ages. When you arrive, hop on your bike for the descent to Pupnatska Luka – a beautiful bay with a pebble beach. Follow the countryside road, passing through vineyards and olive farms and through the old villages Smokvica and Čara. Enjoy a refreshing stop in Brna village on the coast before the final climb to Blato and descending to the port town of Vela Luka. Here, you’ll have time to walk around and a quick bite to eat before boarding a local bus for the journey back to Korcula Town. This evening enjoy dinner at a local restaurant.
   Your cycling distance today will be approximately 44 km/27 miles on undulating and downhill roads, with an elevation gain of 500 m/1,640ft
6. Tag 6

   Dubrovnik

   <
   This morning, take a boat to Orebic and fuel up with breakfast before driving high above the small village of Postup to its panoramic viewpoint. Here, you’ll take to the coastal backroads and cycle through the hills of the Dingac before continuing to Zuljana and up to Putnikovic. When you arrive, stop for an optional wine tasting before cycling across the island to Ston. After, drive to Dubrovnik where you'll join your leader for an orientation walk. Walk through the medieval city then carry on exploring at your own pace. Tonight, maybe join your group for dinner to celebrate the last night of your cycling adventure.
