CROATIA BIKE & BOAT 2017
SOUTHERN DALMATIA ISLANDS
TROGIR / TROGIR
8 DAYS / 7 NIGHTS
220 km by 21-SPEED BIKE or ELECTRIC BIKE
Brac
Our bike tours in Southern Dalmatia, the smallest
and most sparsely populated region of Croatia,
will take us past unique little towns and the
beautiful island seascapes. Experience the
beautiful island of Korčula with its picturesque old
township; the unspoilt island Vis most distant
island from the mainland - and the beautiful
lavender island of Hvar. Our tour guide will guide
you through the towns of Trogir, Hvar, Stari Grad
and Korčula, some of which are protected as
UNESCO‘s World Heritage sites. Some of these
tours are also available as a Mountain Bike tours
(see Schedule).
All cycle tours are optional – you can relax on the
boat & swim instead, or walk around the port
towns.
ITINERARY
Day 1 (Saturday): Boarding in Trogir (cruise Trogir -Hvar)
Check in from 2 pm – 2.30 pm. At 3 pm the crew cast off to the lovely port of Stari Grad on the island of
Hvar. Stari Grad is one of Croatia’s oldest towns, dating back to 358BC when it was a Greek colony called
Faros. After dinner take a stroll through this fabulous town. Tonight will be spent in Stari Grad.
Split Airport (SPU) is only 5 km from Trogir: A taxi it will cost approx. €20 Euros.
Day 2 (Sunday): Islands of Hvar and Vis (cycling approx. 20 km + 22 km)
The first ride after breakfast is an enjoyable wander
along quiet lanes and minor roads through small
island settlements to the picturesque harbours of
Jelsa and Vrboska. Return to the boat for a well
earned lunch. Second ride is to the Islands capital
Hvar where when cycling you will encounter
breathtaking landscapes and magnificent lavender
fields (in full bloom between July and August). Don’t
forget to try the lavender honey. Time allows you to
explore Hvar where we visit the magnificent
Renaissance square and enjoy the view from the
Spanish Fortress high above the city. Re-board the
boat for an afternoon cruise to the island of Vis.
Overnight in Vis.
Day 3 (Monday) Vis Island (cycling approx. 32 km)
Vis is the island that is located farthest from the mainland. Over 2,000 years ago there was already a Greek
colony called Issa on the island. Due to its strategic location, it was a military zone until 1995 and tourism was
prohibited. Today, you have the opportunity to explore the lovely island by bicycle. In the afternoon we
leave Vis and enjoy a leisurely cruise to the nearby island of Korcula. On route we’ll stop in a quiet bay for a
swim, before mooring in the pleasant port town of Vela Luka on Korcula for the night.
Day 4 (Tuesday ) Korčula Island (cycling approx. 48 km)
Todays ride leads you along the length of what is widely considered to be Dalmatia’s most beautiful island.
The route leads us through aromatic pine forests and along the island’s incredibly scenic south coast where
a string of tiny islands dot the surface of the coral blue sea. We’ll stop at a stunning taverna where lunch is
at your own expense before pedalling on along a scenic coastal road enjoying more fabulous sea views.
The last section leads us via the village of Blato, like Rome build on seven hills, along a pass road across
Pupnat Bay and finally to Korčula town, where we have time to take a walk through the wonderful old town
with its narrow “fishbone like” alleys. We stay overnight in Korčula town. Korčula still vies with Venice for the
title of the birth place of Marco Polo.
Day 5 (Wednesday) Brac Island (cycling approx. 15 or 35 km)
Our day starts with a morning cruise to the island of Brac. Brac is famous for its shining white marble which
was used for the White House and the Reichstag in Berlin. We moor in the pleasant little port town of
Sumartin on the island’s eastern tip. After lunch disembark with the bikes - the initial climb leads us up to the
town of Selca and here you may have a choice depending on the wether conditions as well as the boats
organizational requirements. Do you opt for the shorter, 15km ride, in which case you merely descend on an
easy route to the nearby port of Povlja where the boat will pick you up, or do you take on the longer
itinerary and follow a network of rural undulating roads, passing mulberry & fig trees, olive groves vineyards
and lanes further up the coast to Pucisca. Either way you’ll enjoy the ride and love spending the night in the
atmospheric little town of Pucisca with it’s inviting square and serene setting.
Day 6 (Thursday) Omiš - Split (cycling approx. 30 or 43 km)
After breakfast cycle into the valley of the Cetina River, which has buried itself deep into the cliff faces. You
also have the option of taking part in a 4-hour rafting tour (not included in tour price) on the Cetina River.
You will return to Omis with its pirate castles by way of small side roads through a varied landscape. In the
afternoon our ship takes us to Split. The old town of Split, built adjoining the famous palace of the Roman
Caesar Diocletian, is a world heritage site. Overnight stay in Split.
Day 7: (Friday) Šolta - Trogir (cycling approx. 19km)
During breakfast you cruise to the pretty harbour of Stomorska on the island of Solta for the last bicycle tour.
Walled fields, numerous olive groves, carob and fig trees line the road. The spicy smell of lavender and
rosemary accompany us during our tour around the island. In Maslinica we load the bikes and enjoy the last
crossing back to Trogir. In Trogir we have enough time to visit the old city- a World Heritage Site. Traditionally
the last evening dinner before disembarkation is spent with guests, crew and guides.
Day 8: (Saturday) Cruise ends in Trogir
After breakfast disembark by 9 am, for your trip home, or extend your stay in Croatia.
CHANGES
We reserve the right to make changes to the planned route due to changing wind and weather conditions,
and where required by organizational necessities. For example, if ports are overcrowded, the tour will be
operated in reverse.
LEVEL OF FITNESS REQUIRED:
Moderate – Challenging: It is hilly - cycle tours require a good level of fitness, acquired from steady cycling
and long uphill climbs if you wish to use a 21-speed Hybrid bike. Electric bikes will allow anyone of average
fitness to manage the hills. The tours will take us up to a height of 200 - 500 m above sea-level. We traverse
rarely frequented asphalted roads as well as pathways, unpaved or gravel. The day-tours (from 15 to 48 km)
will take us through hilly and mountainous terrain and will be completed without any time-constraints.
Participants with 21-speed bikes also need to master long and steep climbs – these climbs are followed by
long downhill runs. Helmet use is mandatory on all cycle tours. You are free to set aside a half or full day to
swim or spend time on board the boat, instead of taking a planned cycle-tour.
HELMETS:
Helmets are compulsory, and must be requested in advance because numbers are limited.
You are encouraged to bring your own, well fitted helmet.
MEALS ONBOARD:
4 days have “full board” (3 meals) and 3 days with “half board” (2 meals/day). Catering begins with dinner
on the first night, and ends with breakfast on day of departure.
CHILDREN
We believe that only children in a good physical condition and with a minimum age of 10 and previous
bicycle tour experience are able to master the bike-tours on their own strength. Please note that the
minimum height for a hybrid rental bike is 120 cm, and Electric bike 150 cm .
