Croatia is a cycling paradise where ancient history meets crystal-clear coastlines and dramatic landscapes. With its many islands, medieval hill towns, national parks, and quiet seaside roads, it’s easy to see why more and more cyclists are heading to this part of the Adriatic. Whether you're riding along the Dalmatian Coast or through the rolling hills of Istria, a cycling holiday here is full of variety, beauty, and local character.
Whether you’re a novice or an advanced cyclist, Croatia has an option for you. With a choice between flat routes along the stunning Adriatic coastline or more challenging climbs like those you’ll find in the national parks of Krka and Paklenica, Croatia caters to all levels. This wonderful country offers diversity not only in cycling but also in scenery, towns, landscapes, and local cuisine. With breathtaking sea views, olive groves, vineyards, ancient Roman ruins, and UNESCO sites like Dubrovnik, Split, and Trogir, it’s a landscape that never fails to impress. Fancy a boat trip? No problem. Take your bike aboard a ferry and hop between the stunning islands of Hvar, Korčula, and Brač. Influenced by a mix of Mediterranean and Central European cultures, Croatia offers a range of culinary delights. From the truffle-heavy dishes in the north, to seafood delicacies such as squid ink risotto, and plenty of hearty stews, there’s a dish for all tastebuds.
