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.

From ancient Roman ruins and UNESCO-listed cities to hidden coves and sun-drenched vineyards, every bike ride reveals a new side of this breathtaking country.
