This guided cycling tour around the stunning Kvarner Bay starts on Krk Island and ends on Cres Island exploring amazing coastlines, medieval towns, old villages and picturesque bays on the route. Highlights include great beaches, vineyards, pine woods, cycling on the historic islands and exploring memorable coastal towns and stunning hilltop views. Croatia has beautiful islands, rich history, Mediterranean vegetation, and a mild climate. Without a doubt, the best way to explore it is by bike.
Participants should have at least an intermediate level of physical fitness and experience with cycling to fully enjoy and comfortably complete the cruise. Alternatively, we recommend to rent an ebike.
SWIMMING BREAKS & CYCLING ROUTE
Weather permitting, swim stops will be arranged in secluded bays or after cycling, before setting sail for the next island. The daily cycling route length may vary due to local conditions, detours, or shortcuts. Both sailing and cycling routes may be adjusted based on weather conditions and the cyclists' abilities. Departures typically take place in the morning, mostly after breakfast.
