Itinerary

Day 1 (Sat):
Trogir to Split, 12 miles (20km)

Individual arrival to the picturesque port of Trogir. After check in on the motor yacht the first small cruise begins between 1.00 and 2.00pm from Trogir to Split . Here you will undertake your first cycle tour to the Marjan mountain, a popular relaxation destination for the inhabitants of Split. After dinner your guide will accompany you on a walk through the old town of Split, which is built into the famous palace of the Roman Caesar Diokletian and is a world heritage site. Overnight stay in Split.

Day 2 (Sun):
Cetina Canyon, 27 miles (43 km)

After a short crossing to Omis you will cycle into the valley of the Cetina River , which has buried itself deep into the cliff faces. You will return to Omis with its pirate castles by way of small side roads through varied landscape. You also have the option of taking part in a 2 hour rafting tour on the Cetina River. In the afternoon you will cross over to Brac Island with a swimming break and a cycle tour to Pucisca. The famous white marble of Brac which can be seen here has been used in the White House in Washington.

Day 3 (Mon):
Brac Island, 14 miles (22 km)

Today's route begins in Pucišca with a long but moderate ascent to the mountain ridge of the island past mulberry, kiwi and fig trees, olive groves and vineyards. The following descent to Bol rewards you for your earlier climb with amazing panoramic views of the neighbouring island Hvar. Right before lunch you cross to the island of Korcula. Overnight stay in the picturesque harbor of Racišce.

Day 4 (Tue):
Mljet + Pelješac Peninsula, 7 + 16 miles (12 + 26 km)

Early in the morning the ship takes you to Mljet, which is also known as the honey island. In the 12th century Benedictine monks founded a beautifully situated monastery, which you will see on your short bike trip. Today this region is a National park and one of the highlights of every Dalmatian journey. At noon you continue your journey to Pelješac Peninsula. After arrival in Trstenik you make a cycle tour inland, past the most famous wine growing region of Dalmatia (the excellent Plavac und Dingac wines come from here), to Orebic. After arrival you cross to Korcula Island whose capital town vies with Venice for the title of the birth place of Marco Polo. There is time for an extensive stroll through the alleys of this beautiful town.

Day 5 (Wed):
Korcula Island, 34 miles (55 km)

Today you explore the Island of Korcula by bicycle. The tranquillity and isolation of the lush gardens, with their large cyprus trees, dominate what is perhaps Dalmatia‘s most beautiful island. First you cycle along the coastal road for a short while. After a short period of pushing your bike to Pupnat you’ll reach the old 200m/660 ft. high pass road above the magnificent bay of Pupnat and later the village of Blato which, like Rome, was built on 7 hills. Overnight stay in the harbor of Vela Luka.

Day 6 (Thu):
Hvar Island, 12.5 + 15 miles (20 + 25 km)

After arriving at the port of Hvar you will enjoy a tour of the large Renaissance square, which is surrounded by the cathedral and many late-gothic palaces, from where you will climb up to the Spanish fort with its legendary panoramic views across the sea to the Paklenica Islands. The cycle route will take you past row upon row of small island villages whose picturesque stone houses are stacked up next to each other just like the pearls on a necklace. Today you will finish in the historical town of Stari Grad, which has become a magnet for artists and art lovers in the last few years.

Day 7 (Fri):
Šolta Island, 12 miles (19 km)

After crossing over to Stomorska on the island of Solta you will commence your last cycle tour. Walled fields, numerous olive groves, locust bean and fig trees line the roads.
