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.
If you’re drawn to sea views, explore the dramatic Dalmatian coast by bike, with routes between Split and Dubrovnik or across islands like Korčula, Hvar, and Brač. Prefer countryside and wine regions? Head to Istria or Pelješac, where vineyards, olive groves, and hilltop villages offer a different kind of ride.
Poreč, a vibrant coastal town on Croatia’s Istrian Peninsula, is an excellent choice for a cycling holiday. With its Roman heritage, crystal-clear Adriatic coastline, and vineyard-covered hills, Poreč offers cyclists the perfect balance of nature, history, and Mediterranean charm. Whether you’re coasting along the sea or exploring quiet country roads, every turn offers a new discovery.
Istria, Croatia’s heart-shaped peninsula, offers a perfect mix of Mediterranean beauty and inland charm. Expect quiet country roads, olive groves, hilltop towns, and sparkling coastal views as you ride through this authentic and underrated European cycling destination.
The Dalmatian Coast offers dreamy island-hopping, medieval harbour towns and crystal-clear seas. It’s a cycling paradise where every ride ends with a sea view.
“Croatia’s Parenzana Trail crosses borders and follows the old Austro-Hungarian railway line from Trieste to Poreč, winding through tunnels, viaducts, and scenic vineyards. It’s one of the most iconic and historic cycling paths in the country.”
