CROATIA
From the stunning Dalmatian Coast with its picture postcard islands and beaches to its its rugged mountainous interior, Croatia is a dramatically beautiful cycling destination. Packed with historic and cultural interests this diverse country offers opportunities to explore and discover at every turn. For a glimpse into another civilisation, ride through the magnificent Istrian peninsular, stopping off in medieval walled villages and sampling world famous wines from vineyards established hundreds of years ago. For the more luxurious ride, island hop your way from Split to Dubrovnik, all under blue skies with vistas of crystal waters lapping at a golden coast. It is an ideal destination for both experienced riders and cycling newcomers making it a rapidly growing cycling destination.
The medieval towns of Istria provide a stunning back drop to a cycling adventure. the 12th century architecture is truly unique.
Relaxing cycling trips don't come much better than those based along the sunny Croatian coast. Sweeping views over the Adriatic will stay with you forever.
Croatia's countryside is often under appreciated due to the luxury of the country's coast. This, however, is an equally peaceful and scenic place to cycle with friends or family.
