Day 2 Circular ride exploring Hvar island, including Hvar town and a 5mi (8km) climb

Today we start with a transfer to Jelsa and ride east along the narrow part of the island with views of both coasts as we head to the port of Sucuraj. The road is generally quiet and there are a couple of challenging climbs today to get you warmed up, however, the sup...

Day 6 Ride through the vineyards of Peljesac Peninsula towards the mainland; transfer to Dubrovnik

After a ferry ride (approximately 20 minutes) to the Peljesac Peninsula, we follow this narrow and rugged finger of land. The route passes through olive groves, quiet villages, and vineyards hugging steep slopes that descend to the clear waters of the Adriatic. We com...

Day 7 Free day to explore Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik exudes old-world charm. Right on the Adriatic, it has fine religious buildings surrounded by heavily fortified walls and a jumble of red-tiled roofs. The shelling of Dubrovnik by Serb troops in 1991 and 1992 outraged the world. Fortunately, over the last 15 ...

Day 8 End Dubrovnik

Enjoy your final breakfast of the trip this morning; an excellent chance to reminisce about the many adventures you’ve just enjoyed. If you’ve still got a little appetite for adventure, speak to your sales representative about extending your stay in Dubrovnik. Or if you’re ready to put up your feet, now’s the time to start your journey home.

Accommodation

5 days cycling (including one optional ride on Mljet) with 100% vehicle support 90% good quality tarmac, 10% gravel road Quiet roads with a good mix of flat and rolling terrain Group normally 4 to 16 plus leader. Min age 16 7 nights hotels All breakfasts included
We have a trio of bases for this cycling adventure in Croatia: the two islands of Hvar and Korčula, plus the seaside city of Dubrovnik. In each, we have chosen hotels that are close to the beach and are ideally placed for our cycling. Below are the hotels we typically use: Hvar: Labranda Senses (nights 1 and 2) Our first two nights are spent at Labranda Senses, a resort just 165ft (50m) from the sea. It's an excellent spot to ease ourselves into our trip, with a sunbathing terrace, reading corner and mini gym/fitness room. Most of your free time, however, will likely be spent either on the hotel beach (where there are deckchairs) or the pool. Korčula: Hotel Borik (nights 3-5) Immerse yourself into the little village of Lumbarda with a stay at Hotel Borik, which occupies the one-time summer palace of the Mirošević family. The property has an open-air swimming pool, lounge bar and restaurant. The rooms are fairly basic, but the main street in the village and the pebbly beach of Tatinje are just a walk away. Dubrovnik: Hotel Vis/Hotel Komodor (nights 6 and 7) Our final nights are spent at either Hotel Vis (above) or Hotel Komodor, both three-star beachside properties. The 151-room Vis hotel, sandwiched between pine trees and the Adriatic, has a rooftop terrace, bar, and a seaside restaurant serving local and international cuisines. The Komodor has 113 rooms, which are split between the main building and an annex. The seaside promenade is just a five-minute walk away and there's a pool at the hotel. Worth knowing During the low season, some hotels close their pools. However, the sea is never far away when you would like a swim. Some hotels we use don’t have lifts. If you opt for the single supplement, please note that in some hotels, this may mean having a single bed, rather than double. If you would like to upgrade to a double bedded room this is subject to availability at an extra charge.
