Wander through ancient Romanesque houses, the Peristyle, and soak in the bustling atmosphere of the local fish market by the sea.

Embark on a captivating ferry ride to the island of Brač, where diverse cycling opportunities await. Cycle through a tapestry of Greek and Roman ruins, quaint fishing villages, and into the heart of Brač’s wine and art culture. Marvel at the island’s world-renowned stone craftsmanship, which has contributed to the construction of iconic structures such as the White House and the Diocletian Palace. Witness the exceptional stonework that adorns the island’s ancient towns and villages.

Today’s journey unfolds on the enchanting island of Hvar, starting with a leisurely cycle around the ancient Stari Grad, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with roots stretching back to 400 BC. Immerse yourself in history, meandering through storied streets that lead past private gardens and olive groves to the azure coastline. In the afternoon, shift gears and embark on a scenic ride through the island’s famed lavender fields, a route as aromatic as it is visually stunning, culminating in the vibrant Hvar town.

Embark on a fascinating journey across Korčula Island after a private boat transfer sets the stage for today’s adventure. This island, rich in history and culture, predates even the Greeks, with signs of ancient civilizations visible throughout your route. Notably, Korčula claims the honour of being the birthplace of the famed explorer Marco Polo.

As you pedal through, marvel at the legacy left by the Venetians, who fortified a city on the island’s northern coast, preserving a walled Old Town that remains nearly intact to this day. 

The southern shores of Korčula are a cyclist’s paradise, offering breathtaking views of secluded beaches and hidden coves. The route takes you through quaint villages and hamlets, inviting stops at local konobas (taverns) where you can indulge in the exquisite flavours of local cuisine. This day is not just a ride but a journey through time, offering a glimpse into the heart and soul of Korčula.

As you leave Korčula, you will embark on a cycling escapade across the Pelješac Peninsula and make your way towards Ston. This ancient city, known for its significant historical heritage is encircled by Europe’s longest medieval walls. The region prides itself on pioneering exquisite red wine production on the peninsula. Moreover, Ston is encircled by rich oyster beds and mussel farms, adding to its allure. Today’s journey, though the briefest, promises exhilarating climbs and descents, offering a blend of athletic challenge and scenic beauty. Upon your arrival in Ston, indulge in the local delicacy with an oyster tasting or set sail to explore an oyster farm up close.
