Top Places You’ll See
From natural wonders to authentic local culture, the route is packed with memorable sights—these are our absolute favorites.

Diocletian’s Palace
Built around AD 305 for the Roman Emperor Diocletian, this UNESCO-listed palace forms the very heart of Split. Its walls, gates, and courtyards make up half of the old town, where locals still live and work among Roman columns and arches. Highlights include the Peristyle courtyard, the Temple of Jupiter, and the vast underground cellars—some of the best-preserved in the Roman world.

Riviera Split
Stretching along the central Dalmatian coast, the Split Riviera blends cultural heritage with Adriatic beauty. From ancient Salona to palm-lined promenades and pebbly beaches, it’s an area where Roman ruins, coastal villages, and clear turquoise waters meet—an inviting mix of city life and seaside calm.

Hvar Town
A glamorous harbor town on the island of Hvar, known for its Venetian-style architecture, marble squares, and lively cafés. The 16th-century Fortica (Španjola) overlooks the old port and the Pakleni Islands, while St. Stephen’s Cathedral anchors the main piazza—one of the largest in Dalmatia.

Lavender Fields, Hvar
Hvar’s hills turn purple each June and July when lavender blooms across the island. The tradition began in the 1920s and once made Hvar one of Europe’s leading producers of lavender oil. Today, visitors can follow fragrant roads near villages like Velo Grablje and Zaraće, where the scent fills the summer air.

Ston
Set at the gateway to the Pelješac peninsula, Ston is famous for its medieval stone walls—dubbed the “Great Wall of Croatia.” Built in the 14th century to defend its valuable salt pans, the fortifications stretch more than 5 kilometres over the hillside. The town is also known for Europe’s oldest active saltworks and its fresh oysters.

Dubrovnik Old Town
Encircled by monumental 16th-century walls, Dubrovnik’s Old Town is Croatia’s most famous UNESCO site and one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval cities. Founded in the 7th century, it flourished as the Republic of Ragusa, rivaling Venice in maritime trade. Highlights include the Rector’s Palace, Stradun Street, and Fort Lovrijenac rising above the Adriatic.

First class company with a well planned route, great accommodation and simply outstanding support in time of trouble. We did a two week ride from Bled to Pula in September 2023. Fair to say we hit a lot of problems courtesy of BA with rescheduled and diverted flights, lost bags, problems with our own bikes, returning rental bikes and more. Daja was simply amazing in helping us sort all of them out and was so accessible at all hours. She even managed to source and buy a forgotten Thru-axle and deliver it personally to our hotel, which is far and above any service i would reasonably expect. Thank you !! Our accommodation was fantastic and far better than expected in all but one location. The route planning in Slovenia was great but due to our decision to bring road bikes from the UK and the nature of the roads in Croatia, our second week was a bit tricky route wise and it would have been good to have had a discussion about this section beforehand. A Gravel bike is far better suited to Croatia although this was our decision to bring road bikes. Transport arrangement and logistics were flawless. Overall, i would change very little and we will definitely be returning to Slovenia. Daja was fantastic and I absolutely recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays and will be using their services again.


We had a wonderful cycling trip, starting in Trieste, then onto Slovenia and Croatia. Before the trip, Klemen was extremely patient with our many questions and addressed our concerns very satisfactorily- even changing the original bike route to meet our needs. The bikes we used ( e-bikes) were in great condition, and easy to use. The hotels were very satisfactory- and included big breakfasts to start our days. The towns we visited were charming. All in all- a first class experience!!


We had an amazing trip from Bled to Pula. Everything was thoughtfully curated from the route to dinner suggestions and accommodations. So much beauty and diversity in such a relatively short distance. They were very responsive when we had a few issues along the way with our bikes. Highly recommend!
