The Dalmatian Coast - Split to Dubrovnik

Today you will arrive at Split, the second-largest city in Croatia. Enjoy the day exploring the city and orientation will be held in the evening. Split is a great place to see Dalmatian life as it’s really lived. Always buzzing, this exuberant city has just the right balance of tradition and modernity. Step inside Diocletian’s Palace (a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s most impressive Roman monuments) and you’ll see dozens of bars, restaurants and shops thriving amid the atmospheric old walls where Split life has been going on for thousands of years. Enjoy the day.

We can provide a transfer from the Split Airport to the first hotel for an additional fee.

Depending on your arrival, you can enjoy an easy, car-free 20 km bike ride or take a 80 km loop into the interior of the land, so we recommend a day earlier arrivalto Split to enjoy extra ride.

Today you depart for island Brač, the biggest and highest of all central Dalmatian islands. There you can expect various riding options and distances, from easy 25 km to big 80km+ loop rides, fisherman villages, museums and art gallery. Island Brac is famous for its stone – the White house in Washington and Diocletian’s palace are just some sites that were built with that stone! All the ancient villages and towns on Brac are kind of an exhibition of fine stone work! Whatever you choose you will have great views on the mainland and ride along olive groves and vineyards! Return to Split with the late afternoon ferry.

After the ferry ride from Split to Hvar, we suggest an easy morning ride around the UNESCO site of Stari Grad. Stari Grad (Old town) is an ancient Greek colony dating back to 400 B.C. Besides historical sites, you will discover quiet, charming towns and roads where you will bike along beautiful gardens, the coast and olive groves. For the afternoon bike ride, take the famous and probably most beautiful road along lavender fields to reach town Hvar.

Start the day with another boat transfer. This time you depart for Island Korcula. Your bike ride on island Korčula is about 46 kilometres away from the town of Korčula. The island was very early populated, even before Greek times and evidences can be seen on your ride! During its history the Venetians chose the northern shores of the island to build a walled city that was of high importance to their power in that area.Thanks to them, we have now the most magnificent walled old town of Korčula that is still preserved and almost architecturally untouched for centuries, which will be your place to stay for the next 2 nights. Enjoy the scenic southern side of the island, with amazing views on beautiful hidden beaches and coves, ride along small villages and hamlets and stop in some of the few great local konoba (tavern) for amazing locally prepared food!

Distance : 55 Km (34 mi)

As you stay for another day in Korčula take a chance to explore the island of Korčula; its hidden coves, beautiful old towns, unique small villages and dark pine forests that cover the island. There are a few loop options today. Whatever you choose, you will be making your way past vineyards, olive groves and along the beautiful coast of the island. Taste traditional food like homemade gnocchi, homemade macaroni, pašticada....and other meals which have been traditionally prepared by the locals for centuries.... Some of the best Croatian white wines are produced on this island, which will just add flavor to your lunch or dinner. Did we mention Marco Polo was born here and has started his life journey from Korčula?
