Day 1 - Arrival to Split
Warm up ride: 20 km
Overnight: Split
Split is Croatia's vibrant coastal hub, built around the 1,700-year-old Diocletian's Palace, a living UNESCO World Heritage Site full of narrov stone streets, cafes and ancient Roman architecture. The waterfront Riva promenade buzzes with Mediterranean energy while the nearby Marjan forest park offers peacefull pine-covered hills overlooking the Adriatic.
Your ride: If you take the warm-up ride through Marjan Park, you'll cycle quiet roads lined with cypress and pine, pass stone chapels and enjoy panoramic viewpoints over Split, the Brač channel and the island you will soon explore.
Day 2 - Split -Hvar
Ferry to Stari Grad
Cycling: 42 km Elevation: 600 m
Overnight: Hvar town
Hvar Island blends history, agriculture, and dramatic nature.
• Stari Grad, one of Europe’s oldest towns (384 BC), still follows the geometric layout of its
ancient Greek founders.
• The surrounding Stari Grad Plain (Ager) is a perfectly preserved agricultural landscape of
olive groves, vineyards, and tiny stone walls—unchanged for 24 centuries.
• Inland villages like Velo Grablje and Brusje reveal Hvar’s past as a center of lavender
production, with terrace fields stretching down the hillsides.
The island’s central ridge offers sweeping views of endless sea, scattered islets, and rugged
coastline.
Your Ride
Cycle through the UNESCO plain and picturesque backroads, then gradually climb toward the lavender plateau. The ride finishes with one of Croatia’s most scenic descents—an unforgettable panoramic road dropping into sun-soaked Hvar Town, known for its Venetian architecture, waterfront restaurants and hilltop fortress
Day 3 - Hvar - Korcula island
Water taxi to Vela Luka
Cycling: 58 km Elevation: ~820 m
Overnight: Korčula town or Lumbarda
Korčula is often called the “Little Dubrovnik” for its medieval walled town, but the island offers much more:
• Vela Luka: A quiet harbor surrounded by olive groves and hills.
• Southern Coast bays (Prižba, Brna): A chain of turquoise coves perfect for swimming.
• Wine Villages (Čara & Smokvica): Birthplace of the indigenous Pošip white wine, with
endless vineyards carpeting the hillsides.
• Pupnat: One of the island’s oldest settlements, located near a ridge with dramatic views of the Pelješac Peninsula and open sea.
• Korčula town: A beautifully preserved medieval gem with narrow alleys, stone houses, and legends of Marco Polo.
Your Ride
You’ll pedal from the island’s quieter west toward its wine-rich center, passing olive trees, fig orchards, and stone hamlets. The southern coast’s winding road hugs cliffs above crystal-clear waters. The climb to Pupnat rewards you with breathtaking scenery before a smooth ridge ride leads toward Korčula town.
