Istria is a delight for the senses. Cycle from Venetian coastal towns like Poreč and Rovinj to hilltop villages wrapped in vineyards and lavender fields. The food is exceptional, think fresh seafood, homemade pasta, and award-winning olive oil. Istria offers a blend of sea views and inland discoveries, making it ideal for riders who like a balance of culture, nature and cuisine on two wheels.
Istria’s climate is Mediterranean, with warm, dry summers and mild shoulder seasons, ideal for cycling from April through October. Terrain varies from coastal flats to rolling hills inland, with a few moderate climbs to reward you with panoramic views. E-bikes help take the edge off steeper sections.
“The coastline is unquestionably stunning, but cycle inland and you’ll spot locals hunting truffles with dogs. It reminds me of Tuscany, but with fewer tourists!”

The coast is mostly flat, but the inland areas have rolling hills, manageable for most cyclists, especially with e-bikes.
Exceptional! And affordable. Istria is famous for truffles, seafood, olive oil and wine.
