What makes Croatia a great destination for a bike tour?

Croatia offers something for every type of traveler, including coastal e-bike tours, island hopping bike and boat tours, and inland climbs in the Dinaric Alps. Croatia's islands are especially suited to a bicycle tour, allowing you to cover each island often in one day, taking in multiple regions of Croatia in one magical trip.

When is the best time to take a bike tour in Croatia?

The best time to take a bike tour in Croatia is the spring through early summer season, when the temperatures are milder at around 18–26°C (65–79°F). Early autumn is also recommended. July and August are the hottest months, often exceeding 30°C (86°F), whilst November to March bring cooler temperatures and some rain. Ferry services are also limited in the winter months.

Are Croatia bike tours suitable for beginners?

Many routes in Croatia are ideal for beginners and first-time cyclists, with paved routes, short daily rides, e-bike options, and often a support vehicle. In Istria and Northern Dalmatia, the terrain is especially suited to beginners, with fewer climbs. E-bikes make light work of any rolling terrain and are recommended if riders are unsure of their fitness level or want a more relaxed ride in warmer temperatures.

Croatia

Gem of the Adriatic

Croatia blends four diverse cultures – Western, Eastern, Central European, and Mediterranean – in one beautiful country.

Its Adriatic coastline of turquoise waters make a bike and boat tour here truly idyllic, with island hopping between the likes of Hvar, Korčula, Brač, and Mljet.

Each of Croatia’s stunning islands has a distinct personality. Sample each region’s distinct cuisine, from tantalizing olive oils to award-winning wines, as well as different terrains, traditions, and beauty spots.

Indulge in idyllic swims in Krka, explore the Plitvice Lakes’ waterfalls, and ride through the forests and salt lakes of Mljet. In Croatia's cities, you'll find the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Diocletian's Palace in Split, as well as the ancient Roman amphitheater in Pula and the medieval walled towns of Dubrovnik and Trogir.

Croatia has it all, and it’s calling you for a bike tour!
