Bicycling the Islands of Dalmatia Plus! the South Coast

Bicycling the Islands of Dalmatia Plus! the South Coast

Croatia's Dalmatian Coast has been a favorite seaside destination among central Europeans for over a century. Join us as we explore this spectacular limestone coastline by bicycle! We begin near Split where you'll see Diocletian's 3rd century palace still inhabited by descendants of the Romans who settled this area and where we'll visit the waterfalls of Krka National Park. On our ride we pedal three of the Mediterranean's most picturesque islands - Brač, Hvar and Korčula - spending time in the picturesque rural areas, ports, and fishing villages. We'll explore the Medieval and Renaissance cities that were so important to the Greeks, Romans, Venetians, Austrians, Hungarians, and Croats. We'll also pedal to the remote interior of coastal Croatia before shuttling you to the beautiful walled city of Dubrovnik, long considered the jewel of the Adriatic.

***If this sounds great but you'd like a shorter tour, check out our Bicycling the Islands of the Dalmatian Coast tour, which features the first 8 days of this tour.***

DAY 1: Tour begins in Skradin, shuttle from the airport or pick up in Split

Highlights: Krka National Park, Skradinski Buk waterfalls, Dalmatian Karst topography

Arrive today in Skradin, a charming town on the edge of Krka National Park, home to the beautiful Skradinski Buk waterfalls. We'll offer a shuttle from the Split airport (close to the town of Trogir) or from the center of Split. We'll fit bicycles this afternoon and suggest a test ride into the interior. You can also enjoy a 4 km walk, or boat ride along the river into the national park to visit the seventeen falls where the Krka and Čikola Rivers flow out of the Dalmatian Karst (limestone). The rivers return to their journey underground, a typical "karst topography" phenomenon, below the falls. We'll have a special seafood dinner this evening.

DAY 2: Bike from Krka to Primošten

Highlights: Secluded villages of Dalmatia, beach resort hotel, Primošten

We head off through a remote area of Dalmatia to reach our hotel on the beach near Primošten. As you pedal, the landscape will change; olive groves, small family-owned vineyards, and rural villages give way to coastal landscapes and the island-town of Primošten where our hotel lies on the beach. We'll enjoy an informal grappa tasting and enjoy a traditional Croatian "peka" dinner tonight in a nearby ancient village.

Highlights: Primošten, bicycle ride through vineyards and olive groves, famous town of Trogir

If the beach captivated you yesterday, make sure to wander through the island-village of Primošten this morning before heading off through vineyards and olive groves to the top of the plateau. We ride across beautiful barren land before dropping down to the UNESCO World Heritage town of Trogir where we spend the night. Trogir was a Greek colony in the 4th century BC and later a Roman municipality. Occupied by the Croatians after the 7th century, it became a key Medieval port city in the Adriatic. The present town sits on a Roman and Hellenistic street grid inside the 15th century Venetian wall.

Highlights: Trogir, Split including a guided tour of Diocletian's Palace, Island of Brač

We bicycle along the coast today to Split, an ancient Roman city and site of Diocletian's famous palace. Occupying the space of nine football fields, the palace was built at the turn of the 3rd century A.D. and is still inhabited. Actually, the "palace" is really like a small, walled city within a city. We'll take a guide tour of the palace and enjoy an introductory walk of Split. You'll have time to explore further and have lunch before we catch the ferry to the island of Brač this afternoon. From there we pedal to our hotel in the small fishing port of Postira.

You have a full day to explore Croatia's third largest island and one of the most beautiful islands in the Adriatic. What's your pleasure? A fifty kilometer loop ride through beautiful ancient villages? Or an easier ride up to the oldest town on the island? How about an easy walk to the town of Splitska for lunch? Perhaps you'll choose a lazy day at the nearby beach; or you might like to fill your whole day with a ride to some of the more remote villages on the island. Whatever your wish.

Have a cup of coffee along the waterfront before climbing up and over the island of Brač to reach the town of Bol. Our hotel this evening is in the center of town.

Settled by colonists from the Greek island of Paros in the 4th century BC, Hvar Island was dominated for centuries by the Venetians. Visit the coastal villages of Vrboska and Stari Grad before riding to Hvar town through cultivated vineyards surrounded by stone walls and panoramic views of the coastline. Meander through the Medieval alleys of the old town or join the locals in one of the elegant cafés to watch the world go by.

We'll enjoy a guided walk of Hvar to learn about the 13th century Venetian fortifications built to protect one of the most important Adriatic ports of the Venetian Republic. After our picnic lunch at the fortress (also called the Spanish Fort), you'll have some time to enjoy the pjaca (piazza), the largest in all of Dalmatia.

DAY 9: Hvar speedboat to Vela Luka, Korčula

Highlights: Korčula, birthplace of Marco Polo, island scenery and views

Today we continue our island-hopping adventure and ferry to our fourth island – Korčula, an ancient Greek colony dating back to the 4th century BC. The island is famous for its white wines - Posip, Rukatac, Grk, beautiful old towns, villages and dark pine forests that cover the island whose quality wood was used for shipbuilding. We will be biking along sleepy stone villages, family vineyards, gardens and discover Korčula’s hidden coves. The rest of the day is planned for exploring the medieval town of Korčula and to get into the sleepy, laid back lifestyle!

Today you will have an option to do a loop ride on the island or just relax and do some sightseeing in the town of Korčula – a Venetian fortified town, irresistible to today's visitor, just as it was to medieval travel writers like Marco Polo, who began his life's journey in this town. Today’s experience ranges from riding along coastal roads leading to secluded beaches to biking through the vineyards surrounding small, picturesque towns. Did we mention an optional swim break at the beach on the eastern part of the island?

Take time to discover this peninsula – home to some of Croatia's best-known red wines Dingac and Postup, made from Plavac Mali wines, close cousin to Californian Zinfandel. Peljesac offers great views of Mljet and back to Korcula. Today’s ride takes you into the hills, along the coast and through huge vineyards (by Croatian standards!). We will visit Ston – a salt producing village, built in the 14th century and famous for the longest (5,5 km) fortified walls in Europe. Ston was a very powerful and prosperous city during the 14th century Dubrovnik Republic.

    Michael D., Boulder, CO - May 2018
  • One of our favorite tours ever! Beautiful scenery, interesting culture, good food and wine. Loved the culture of coffee, gelato, wine, olive oil, fresh seafood.

    Beverley T., Vancouver, BC - September 2017
  • The tour involves a lot of climbing, but rewards those climbs with incredible views of the Adriatic and coastal towns from the heights. The rides were short enough that we could explore many towns in the early afternoon after our cycling was completed.

    Bill M., Woodland, CA - September 2017
  • Fun cycling through very scenic areas.

    Rick W., Davis, CA - September 2017
  • Quaint towns and wonderful boutique hotels were great. Unforgettable blue water too. Guides were excellent. We had a great time on this trip and would recommend it to others. We are already planning to do the Camino next September.

  • Worth doing, a wonderful experience. We have been on several cycle tours with other companies and this company has been our best yet!

    Linda M., Nelson, NZ - May 2017
  • Great trip, and as always just a feeling of independent travel that the arrows always give us in the organized trip. Guides are all great as usual.Good food and some neat places to stay. Thanks.

    Colin C., Calgary, Canada - May 2017
  • Thank you for being there. You have enhanced the quality of my life. I wouldn''t say that lightly.

    Jim L., Telluride, CO - April 2017

    Susan C., Fort Collins, CO - April 2017
  • Fantastic, great riding, great cultural insight and excellent exposure to Croatia. Tour leaders are to be commended for their performance.

    Rob A., Perth, Australia
  • How would you describe this tour to a friend? A fantastic experience. Great cycling, fabulous tour leaders, so well organised, amazing cultural experiences, flexible assistance for all participants.

    Anthea C., Perth, Australia
  • Each day I thought that, that day was my favorite, until the next day. There wasn''t a day that I didn''t say, "wow" at some point. The last small ferry was super relaxing. I was very happy with everything we did. For the first time, we traveled with friends. My biggest fear was overselling ExPlus to them, and they''d be disappointed. By the end of the trip, our friends kept saying, we understand, love the arrows, can''t sing the praises of ExPlus enough.

    Susan A., Colorado Springs, CO
  • It was a great experience to visit the old cities and get a taste of the culture and way of life. I have been on several other tours including some with other companies, and these two leaders were among the very best. They made a good tour even better. ExperiencePlus! bills itself as having local character and they really do. No other bike touring company offers as much opportunity to blend in with the local people and culture. It adds so much to a memorable vacation.

    Bill P., Meadville, PA
  • Very well planned journey, carefree cycling by the arrows, fabulous routes, great cultural experiences and best of all, the guides were fully engaged with us and we''re always there to lend a hand. They seemed to magically pop up during the touring. The tour is set up to give you the freedom to cycle confidently at your own pace with no worries.

    David S., Voorhees, NJ
  • This trip was a very rich cultural and historical experience. Silvija and Ante, were excellent at sharing the love and pride they feel for Croatia with us. They did an excellent job of taking us to local family businesses, farm to table meals, family owned limestone artist workshop, family run ferries, all of these experiences gave me a real flavor of Croatia and the many generations of people living there. Plus an added bonus of daily swimming in the Adriatic!

    Virginia S., Oakland, CA
  • When my friends asked "what was the highlight of the tour" I answered FIVE STARS in all categories!

    Nancy G., Bisbee, AZ
  • Postcard-perfect scenery; wonderful people; fascinating history; delicious food. We love, love, love ExperiencePlus! tours!! Cant wait for our next one!

    Laura E., Tacoma, WA
  • How would you describe this tour to a friend? Culturally very interesting, challenging biking at times (for those who are casual bikers), wonderfully friendly people everywhere and the most gorgeous coastline imaginable.

    June W., St Paul, MN
  • The trip was fabulous, loved our guides, loved Croatia.

    William C., Pelham, NY
  • What was your favorite experience on this trip? It is very hard to single out one in particular, but I enjoyed the different cycling options -- on two occasions, I opted for longer rides than the rest of the team and in each case was rewarded with special experiences.

    Guy C., Vallejo, CA
  • How would you describe this tour to a friend? A bit like Italy, a bit like Greece, with stunning seashores, great seafood, fascinating antiquities and hospitable people.

    Nancy H., Santa Barbara, CA
  • Fantastic! Flawlessly managed.

    Andrew A., Dallas, TX
  • Absolutely wonderful!There were tours of the palace in Split, the fort in Hvar and the winery in Bol; ferry rides and boat rides; walks on the Ston wall; alleys in old towns to explore; interesting local meals (frogs!) ... it turned out to be a wonderful cultural experience.

    Sherry B., Beaverton, OR
  • [What was your favorite experience on this trip?] Beautiful scenery, conquering the hills, then exhilarating downhills, ferry rides, friendly people encouraging riding companions.

    Helen S., Melbourne, Australia
  • This was probably the best bike trip I've had. The routes were great, the scenery and fellow travels were great, and the guides were great.

    John H., Colorado Springs, CO
  • [What was your favorite experience on this trip?] The amazing views during and after those climbs! It's just stunning. And also the Croatian people that I met. Croatia is an amazing place. I thought from travel books and pictures I had a very good idea of what to expect. Much better than I even thought. More Americans should visit - best seen on a bike trip with ExperiencePlus!

    John C., Reno, NV
  • How would you describe this tour to a friend? Stunning country; challenging riding; fascinating history; friendly and accommodating people...FABULOUS!!!

    Deena B., Incline Village, NV

    Todd H., Houston, TX

    Kathy E., Clarksburg, ON, Canada
  • This was a wonderful tour with beautiful routes, interesting meals in out of the way locations, great guides (and I do love having local guides). I also loved cycling on 3 of the coastal islands.

  • The thing I love most about ExperiencePlus! is that we are taken care of just enough to leave a little adventure to the trip. I love the focus of really trying to show the culture and people of a country in addition to wonderful riding. I think you do this by providing local guides, typical local meals and opportunities to interact with the locals (the hat trade) and to learn about the country more in depth by providing tours of olive oil factories, stone cutting school, and meals at places like the agriturismo place. You've given me many wonderful memories.

  • I especially liked the way you mark the road and the trip notes for each day were excellent. The scenery was so spectacular, the dinners, wine-tasting... It was a great trip in every way!!

  • I had so many favorite experiences, I really liked our private tour of Diocletian's Palace in Split with Ivana, who was terrific. I liked the experience of the ferries and seeing the various ports and nautical activity. It's such a beautiful country and experiencing it by bike was a treat. This was a wonderful tour and I absolutely loved it.
