Your tour will take you through the Stari Grad Plains, a UNESCO world heritage site, visiting a secluded bay for lunch before stopping in the picturesque 15th-century fishing village of Vrboska.

ISLAND EXPLORATION DAY / NON-CYCLING

After breakfast, we’ll head North to the stunning Pakleni Otoci. Literally translated as “Hell Islands”, in our experience, they’re more like Paradise. Sit back and enjoy the islands only accessible via boat, and enjoy an afternoon exploring the breathtaking coves and beaches before having sundowners at an exclusive night spot or taking in the view over Hvar in any one of the island's amazing restaurants.

CYCLING ROUTE - KORCULA RETURN

Korčula > Žrnovo > Lumbarda > Korčula

Enjoy a sunrise sail as we head towards Korčula, a medieval walled city. For our second guided cycle day, we will be setting off from the town just after lunch to the villages of Žrnovo, a maze of some of the oldest settlements on the island. We will take in the views from our high point before descending to the coast, where swimming is an option. Cycling back along the coast we will stop at one of our favourite and oldest wineries on the island to taste the unique Korčula Pošip grape.

Altitude: 450 m
Difficulty: Medium
Start point/End point: Korčula Town Centre

CYCLING ROUTE - POLACE RETURN

Polace > Saltwater Lakes > Lazy River > Pomena > Polace

In the morning, we will have breakfast at Badija Monastery Bay before we sail to the island of Mljet. We will cycle from the boat into the famous national park, which features spectacular saltwater lakes and the Benedictine monastery. On this circular route, be sure to wave the flag, and the monastery boatman will pick you up and take you to the monastery island, where refreshments can be found. Take a refreshing dip in the lazy river on your way back, with the optional add-on of exploring Pomena town on the route.

ISLAND EXPLORATION DAY / NON-CYCLING

Today we sail to the Elaphiti Islands for our final island night. Explore the village, embrace the relaxed atmosphere of traditional Adriatic life or discover the multitude of secluded bays and hidden coves ideal for swimming. Enjoy a delicious Croatian feast with your fellow travellers, and take in the views of the clear night sky.

ISLAND EXPLORATION DAY / NON-CYCLING

Enjoy your final morning swim before we head into Dubrovnik. With plenty of time to sail, savour every moment and have a go at learning the ropes. As we approach the city, admire the majestic hillside and historic architecture, then spend your evening exploring the ancient city walls and get lost in the street maze, before deciding on one of the many local konobas to raise a glass to an incredible week.
