Add more luxury to your E-bike cycle tour by cruising between islands on a sumptuous motor yacht, dining on deck after each day in the saddle. Pedalling around South Dalmatia’s scattered islands and exploring World Heritage towns on the Croatian mainland, the cycling is moderate to challenging but your electric bike will give you an extra boost.
Each island holds unique charm so look forward to diverse days, cycling past olive groves, purple lavender fields and fragrant pine forests, with the option of river rafting when you enter the Cetina Valley. The narrow streets of historic harbour towns are a great place to stop for lunch or unwind with a bowl of green olives and glass of local wine. As you cruise from island to island, there are plenty of opportunities for cooling off with a dip in the sea.
From The Times article about this tour: "The scenery is unbeatable. In the space of an hour I’ve pedalled through small vineyards, hamlets and lush green forests. In Jelsa I stumble on the best (and possibly the cheapest) ice cream that I’ve tasted. By the end of the week - having covered 140 miles or so of road - I’m noticeably fitter, and I’ve made a boatload of new friends." Read the full article here (requires a subscription to The Times).
The cycling on this tour is made easier with e-bikes, which will be used by the majority of guests and the guides. Road or gravel bikes are available but are recommended only for strong cyclists who are comfortable keeping pace with e-bikes.
